Learning outcomes

The objective of the course is to provide students with a reference framework for the evolution of the intervention of public authorities in the economy within the more general constitutional principles of the state. At the end of the course the student is able to: (a) identify the main paths identified by the State to intervene in the field of the economy without entrusting everything to the logic of the market; (b) identify in a conscious and critical manner the means and tools made available by law for public intervention in the economy; (c) the role of Public Administrations in the context of constitutional regulations and special sector disciplines: in particular public procurement.
