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.
