Learning outcomes
This course's aims are:
· to make students familiar with the basic aspects of contemporary constitutionalism in Western democracies, countries in transition to democracy and beyond;
· to show them that, by revealing how other systems address similar problems, comparative constitutional law gives us a better purchase on our own legal system and legal culture;
· to push them to evaluate the foundations of individual legal systems: the assumptions, choices and values that have formed them;
· to provide them with a critical understanding of the strengths and limits of constitutional law in regulating social and political processes.
Course contents
Part I: forms of state and government. Federalism and regionalism, The constitutional protection of human rights.
Part II: Reproductive Rights in Comparative Constitutional Law
Part II: Conflicts over Religious Symbols in the Public Sphere
