Conoscenze e abilità da conseguire
The aim of this course is to describe the evolution of the political systems of the countries of the Mediterranean area. On one hand, the class is going to study the evolution of the political systems of Italy, France, Spain, Portugal and Greece (in these three last cases with a particular attention to the transition to democracy) during the Cold War and after the fall of communism. On the other hand, the class will focus also on the political evolution of the principal political systems of the main countries of the southern side of Mediterranean, in particular Tunisia, Morocco and Algeria after French decolonization but also Egypt and Turkey. At the end of the course the idea is to question if we can consider the Mediterranean area as a compact one and in general if we can find similar evolution lines.
