Learning objectives

Knowledge and understanding

Knowledge of the main institutions of public law, with particular attention to the constitutional framework of rights and freedoms and the form of state and government. This knowledge is to be achieved with a diachronic approach and with an awareness of its main evolutionary lines.


Applying knowledge and understanding

Ability to research relevant normative, bibliographical and jurisprudential material and use them for the purpose of setting legal problems.
Ability to address the main issues arising in the constitutional system of a state, beginning with a proper identification of the relevant legislation. Ability to keep in mind and properly select the main interpretations that are given of such legislation in doctrine and jurisprudence, also with reference to the increase in the complexity of sources as a result of European legislation.


Making judgements

Attention to the reading of positive law and to the interaction between law and politics with an awareness of the regularities of their intertwining, knowing how to discern independently their different modes of attitude.


Communication skills

Ability to write analytical papers and reports on course topics, demonstrating a clear understanding of legal rules and their implications in the state system.
Ability to expound complex arguments on course topics clearly and effectively, both in academic and professional contexts, including participating in discussions and debates and defending one's positions with sound legal arguments and responding pertinently to objections and questions posed.


Learning skills

The goal is to raise students' interest in the subject by soliciting their engagement and attention in the study of both general topics and specific issues.
Another goal is to highlight the points of contact between disciplines-legal and otherwise-apparently distant but actually closely intertwined.

Learning objectives

Training objectives
Macro-subject composed of 4 military disciplines which pursues the
following didactic/training objectives:
a) Leadership 2: Deepen the concept of leadership according to the main
reference document of the Armed Forces with particular reference to the
group dimension (team leadership);
b) General logistics: understanding the structure of the Air Force’s
logistics system;
c) Project Management: to know the potential of a Project Management
system with particular reference to its uses in the context of the Armed
Forces;
d) Effective communication techniques: to know and apply the main

Armed Forces.

Learning objectives

The course enables students to learn the fundamental concepts of the discipline and to acquire the keys to understanding the structural characteristics and processes concerning social security (especially in urban areas) and contemporary organisations, also in relation to military contexts.
The main knowledge acquired is cognitive.
The course aims to introduce the problems identified, the concepts set out and the main theories developed by the sociology of security and the sociology of organisation:
- in the study of complex organisations, to characterise the structural dynamics and processes of change that run through them.
- in the study of security phenomena, paying specific attention to issues pertaining to the armed forces and concerning urban security.
Students will acquire cognitive tools useful in professional practice in military organisations and, more generally, operating in the security sector. The wealth of expert knowledge acquired will in fact enable students to understand the dynamics, relational aspects, structural and superstructural variables acting in their own social context of life and work.

EXPECTED LEARNING OUTCOMES
1. KNOWLEDGE AND COMPREHENSION SKILLS
At the end of the training activity the student will be able to:
- read and summarise scientific texts on the sociology of security and the sociology of organisation.

- identify the main authors who have worked in the field of sociology of security and sociology of organisation.

2. APPLIED KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
At the end of the training activity, the student will be able to:
- place authors and theories of the sociology of security and sociology of organisation in a line of time evolution.
- summarise the main theoretical-scientific aspects.
- define their limits and identify their critical points.

3. AUTONOMY OF JUDGEMENT
At the end of the training activity, students will be able to:
- describe in sociological terms the characteristics of organisational structures and scenarios (regarding the military and, more generally, to the security sphere), their actors, social structures and agencies
- identify and use sociological variables in the assessment of organisational assets and scenarios (regarding the military and, more generally, the security sphere)
- understand the intrinsically social dimension of the processes of meaning-making, decision-making and operational organisation, and implementation that characterise societies, with reference to the institutional contexts and realms of implementation of defence and security policies (especially in relation to urban contexts).

4. COMMUNICATION SKILLS
At the end of the training activity the student will be able to:
- use the scientific vocabulary of the sociology of security and the sociology of organisation in oral exposition and writing.
- discuss in public social concepts, theories and situations relating to the overall societal system considered and its articulations, especially those relevant to urban defence and security
- work in groups, sharing and exchanging knowledge acquired in the field of sociology of security and sociology of organisation.

5. ABILITY TO LEARN
At the end of the training activity, the student will be able to:
- independently retrieve and deepen their knowledge of new scientific orientations in the sociology of security and the sociology of organisation.
- recall and deepen their sociological knowledge during their own cognitive and operational maturation process, especially in their professional career in the institutional military context.
