120950 - HISTORY AND LANGUAGES OF EUROPEAN POLITICAL AND CULTURAL RELATIONS ALESSANDRO BOCCOLINI	First Semester	7	HIST-02/A	Learning objectives The course History and Languages of European Political and Cultural Relations aims to provide students enrolled in the LM-62 Master’s Degree Programme in Political Science and International Relations with advanced tools for understanding the historical evolution of European political, diplomatic, and cultural relations between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries, with particular attention to the dynamics of Central-Eastern Europe and to the processes through which international balances were shaped in the early modern period. Through a comparative and transnational perspective, the course examines the development of modern diplomatic practices, the languages of political communication, the role of confessional affiliations in international relations, and the forms of mediation among states, empires, and religious communities, highlighting the historical roots of several political and geopolitical processes that continue to characterize the European space today. In accordance with the Dublin Descriptors, the course aims to develop specialized knowledge relating to the history of European political cultures, the emergence of modern diplomacy, diplomatic and information networks, the symbolic languages of power, and the models of political legitimacy in early modern Europe. Particular emphasis will be placed on the international dimension of the Holy See and papal diplomacy, considered fundamental actors in European relations, as well as on the interactions among Catholicism, Orthodoxy, and Protestantism within the continental and Central-Eastern European context. Students will acquire an in-depth understanding of the political and institutional transformations that affected the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, Tsarist Russia, the Habsburg and Ottoman Empires, and the major European monarchies, developing a critical awareness of the interactions between politics, religion, and diplomacy. The course also aims to develop the ability to apply historical and methodological knowledge to the analysis of international relations and political mediation processes through the critical reading of diplomatic sources, political texts, and historical documentation. Students will be guided in interpreting complex phenomena from a comparative perspective, evaluating continuities and transformations within European political systems, and understanding the role of diplomatic, confessional, and cultural networks in shaping continental balances of power. Within this framework, the course contributes to strengthening students’ independent judgment in the analysis of international political phenomena and diplomatic cultures, fostering the acquisition of interpretative tools that are also valuable for understanding contemporary international relations. Particular attention will be devoted to the development of communication skills through the rigorous use of the specialized terminology of political history, diplomacy, and international relations, as well as to the ability to elaborate and present complex historical and political issues in a clear, well-argued, and critical manner. Finally, the course seeks to consolidate autonomous learning abilities and advanced methodological competences useful for research activities, political and international analysis, and the continuation of studies in the fields of political science, history, and diplomacy. Teacher's Profile courseProgram Course Title: Diplomacy and Political Languages in Modern Europe The course aims to analyse the history of political and cultural relations in Europe during the modern period (16th-18th centuries), with a specific focus on Central and Eastern Europe and its relations with continental Europe. The aim is to highlight the languages and practices of diplomacy, understood as a fundamental instrument of mediation, conflict resolution, and political communication, while also exploring the unique role played by papal diplomacy and the influence of the Holy See in international dynamics. These dimensions, particularly relevant in Western Europe, take on a crucial significance in the Eastern world, where religious issues were closely intertwined with political ones. The course addresses the major themes of European political and cultural history in three main directions. First, it will analyse the languages and practices of political relations in the modern period, with a focus on diplomatic instruments, the emergence of permanent embassies, ceremonies and symbols of power, informal communication networks, and the languages of political and religious propaganda. Second, Central and Eastern Europe will be considered as a political and cultural laboratory: from Kievan Rus' as a founding myth to the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth as a distinctive constitutional model, from the tensions between Catholicism, Orthodoxy, and Protestantism to the expansion of Tsarist Russia, from the wars and partitions of Poland to relations with the Ottoman and Habsburg empires, up to cultural flows and the role of religious and political mediators. Finally, particular emphasis will be placed on the papal dimension and European parallels, exploring the diplomacy of the Holy See as a political and cultural instrument, the networks of nunciatures, Rome as a center of mediation and legitimacy, papal intervention in confessional conflicts, the projection of the Catholic Church in Eastern Europe – particularly in relations with Poland, the United Churches, and the Union of Brest – and comparison with the diplomatic practices of other European states. From this perspective, the figure of a papal nuncio, Francesco Buonvisi, who served the court of Rome in the sees of Cologne, Warsaw, and Vienna, will be explored in depth. The course aims to equip students with advanced skills in comparative analysis of political and diplomatic cultures, critical reading of sources, and understanding the processes that have shaped relations between states, empires, and religious communities in the modern era. This course offers a broad, comparative perspective that allows for a grasp of both the specificities of Central and Eastern Europe and its integration within the continent's dynamics. examMode At the end of the course, a final oral exam will be administered. A self-assessment and an anonymous test are planned to test learning progress. The student must demonstrate that they have understood the geopolitical dynamics that have affected Eastern Europe in the modern era through the case studies covered during the course. The test is passed if the student studies the proposed books and demonstrates critical thinking on the issues addressed during the course. books One book beetwen: 1.

Students will be asked to focus, also for the purposes of the final assessment, on a specific case of a contemporary European populist party, in order to critically discuss how the theoretical tools presented in the course can concretely help the case study analysis. In this sense, the training objectives that the course pursues are: - Knowledge and understanding - including applied knowledge - of the main issues in the political science debate on populism; - Mastery of the main dimensions of the scientific debate on populism (definitions, causes, consequences, characteristics of populist parties and leaders and communication aspects) - Autonomy of judgement and critical understanding of populist phenomena, their causes and consequences; - Communicative skills in expounding issues related to contemporary populism; - Implementation of learning skills.

ELEMENTS OF PENITENTIARY LAW ROSA ANNA RUGGIERO	First Semester	4	GIUR-13/A		Learning objectives In the past, the execution of punishments – especially the most brutal ones – was a public event: the “spectacle of punishment” was an essential element of the function of the penalty. Today, however, the execution phase takes place in private, behind prison walls. While it is a fact that, in democratic systems, punishments must be carried out with respect for human dignity, understanding how the State exercises its power and fulfills its duties toward prisoners is essential in order to assess the soundness of the criminal justice system and, ultimately, the degree of a nation’s civilization. Indeed, nowhere more than in prison does the balance between repressive needs and individual rights become so tangible. The course therefore aims to explore how this balance is conceived in the Italian Constitution and in the main supranational sources, and to examine how it is concretely implemented in primary and secondary legislation, as well as in practice. Particular attention will be devoted to the so-called elements of treatment, and especially to the exercise by prisoners of those rights that detention should not deny – such as the rights to education, affection, and work. Some fundamental decisions of the Constitutional Court and the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) will be analyzed in detail during practical sessions that involve active student participation. Through these in-depth studies – intended to promote an understanding of the essential elements of penitentiary law – students will be able to demonstrate their ability to apply the acquired knowledge independently and with a critical approach. 1. Knowledge and understanding By the end of the course, students will have acquired a systematic understanding of the constitutional and supranational principles governing the execution of criminal sanctions, with particular focus on the balance between repressive needs and the protection of prisoners’ fundamental rights. They will understand the historical and legal evolution of the purpose of punishment and the role of the Constitutional Court and the European Court of Human Rights in ensuring respect for human dignity and the rehabilitative aim of punishment. 2. Applying knowledge and understanding Students will be able to apply the theoretical knowledge acquired to the critical analysis of concrete cases and judicial decisions, both national and European, concerning prison law. Through exercises, simulations, and seminars, they will be able to identify and interpret legal rules governing prison treatment, understanding their impact on prisoners’ daily lives and on the criminal justice system as a whole. 3. Making judgements The course aims to develop students’ ability to make independent and critical assessments of the functioning of the penitentiary system and of the effectiveness of prisoners’ rights protection. Students will be encouraged to reflect on the relationship between security and human dignity, to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the current system, and to formulate interpretative and reform-oriented proposals consistent with constitutional and international principles. 4. Communication skills Through oral presentations, case discussions, and flipped-classroom activities, students will develop the ability to communicate clearly, coherently, and persuasively on complex legal issues related to prison law. They will be able to present and defend their analyses before peers, instructors, and professionals, using appropriate technical language and demonstrating awareness of institutional contexts. 5. Learning skills The course will provide methodological tools for the independent study of legal, regulatory, and judicial sources in prison law. Students will learn to use academic literature, case law, and documentary sources to explore specific topics, developing skills essential for continuous learning and legal research. Supplementary activities – prison visits, seminars with practitioners, and multimedia materials – will enhance learning abilities. Teacher's Profile

120950 - HISTORY AND LANGUAGES OF EUROPEAN POLITICAL AND CULTURAL RELATIONS ALESSANDRO BOCCOLINI	First Semester	7	HIST-02/A		Learning objectives The course History and Languages of European Political and Cultural Relations aims to provide students enrolled in the LM-62 Master’s Degree Programme in Political Science and International Relations with advanced tools for understanding the historical evolution of European political, diplomatic, and cultural relations between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries, with particular attention to the dynamics of Central-Eastern Europe and to the processes through which international balances were shaped in the early modern period. Through a comparative and transnational perspective, the course examines the development of modern diplomatic practices, the languages of political communication, the role of confessional affiliations in international relations, and the forms of mediation among states, empires, and religious communities, highlighting the historical roots of several political and geopolitical processes that continue to characterize the European space today. In accordance with the Dublin Descriptors, the course aims to develop specialized knowledge relating to the history of European political cultures, the emergence of modern diplomacy, diplomatic and information networks, the symbolic languages of power, and the models of political legitimacy in early modern Europe. Particular emphasis will be placed on the international dimension of the Holy See and papal diplomacy, considered fundamental actors in European relations, as well as on the interactions among Catholicism, Orthodoxy, and Protestantism within the continental and Central-Eastern European context. Students will acquire an in-depth understanding of the political and institutional transformations that affected the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, Tsarist Russia, the Habsburg and Ottoman Empires, and the major European monarchies, developing a critical awareness of the interactions between politics, religion, and diplomacy. The course also aims to develop the ability to apply historical and methodological knowledge to the analysis of international relations and political mediation processes through the critical reading of diplomatic sources, political texts, and historical documentation. Students will be guided in interpreting complex phenomena from a comparative perspective, evaluating continuities and transformations within European political systems, and understanding the role of diplomatic, confessional, and cultural networks in shaping continental balances of power. Within this framework, the course contributes to strengthening students’ independent judgment in the analysis of international political phenomena and diplomatic cultures, fostering the acquisition of interpretative tools that are also valuable for understanding contemporary international relations. Particular attention will be devoted to the development of communication skills through the rigorous use of the specialized terminology of political history, diplomacy, and international relations, as well as to the ability to elaborate and present complex historical and political issues in a clear, well-argued, and critical manner. Finally, the course seeks to consolidate autonomous learning abilities and advanced methodological competences useful for research activities, political and international analysis, and the continuation of studies in the fields of political science, history, and diplomacy. Teacher's Profile courseProgram Course Title: Diplomacy and Political Languages in Modern Europe The course aims to analyse the history of political and cultural relations in Europe during the modern period (16th-18th centuries), with a specific focus on Central and Eastern Europe and its relations with continental Europe. The aim is to highlight the languages and practices of diplomacy, understood as a fundamental instrument of mediation, conflict resolution, and political communication, while also exploring the unique role played by papal diplomacy and the influence of the Holy See in international dynamics. These dimensions, particularly relevant in Western Europe, take on a crucial significance in the Eastern world, where religious issues were closely intertwined with political ones. The course addresses the major themes of European political and cultural history in three main directions. First, it will analyse the languages and practices of political relations in the modern period, with a focus on diplomatic instruments, the emergence of permanent embassies, ceremonies and symbols of power, informal communication networks, and the languages of political and religious propaganda. Second, Central and Eastern Europe will be considered as a political and cultural laboratory: from Kievan Rus' as a founding myth to the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth as a distinctive constitutional model, from the tensions between Catholicism, Orthodoxy, and Protestantism to the expansion of Tsarist Russia, from the wars and partitions of Poland to relations with the Ottoman and Habsburg empires, up to cultural flows and the role of religious and political mediators. Finally, particular emphasis will be placed on the papal dimension and European parallels, exploring the diplomacy of the Holy See as a political and cultural instrument, the networks of nunciatures, Rome as a center of mediation and legitimacy, papal intervention in confessional conflicts, the projection of the Catholic Church in Eastern Europe – particularly in relations with Poland, the United Churches, and the Union of Brest – and comparison with the diplomatic practices of other European states. From this perspective, the figure of a papal nuncio, Francesco Buonvisi, who served the court of Rome in the sees of Cologne, Warsaw, and Vienna, will be explored in depth. The course aims to equip students with advanced skills in comparative analysis of political and diplomatic cultures, critical reading of sources, and understanding the processes that have shaped relations between states, empires, and religious communities in the modern era. This course offers a broad, comparative perspective that allows for a grasp of both the specificities of Central and Eastern Europe and its integration within the continent's dynamics. examMode At the end of the course, a final oral exam will be administered. A self-assessment and an anonymous test are planned to test learning progress. The student must demonstrate that they have understood the geopolitical dynamics that have affected Eastern Europe in the modern era through the case studies covered during the course. The test is passed if the student studies the proposed books and demonstrates critical thinking on the issues addressed during the course. books One book beetwen: 1.

Teacher's Profile

Learning objectives

In the past, the execution of punishments – especially the most brutal ones – was a public event: the
“spectacle of punishment” was an essential element of the function of the penalty. Today, however,
the execution phase takes place in private, behind prison walls. While it is a fact that, in democratic
systems, punishments must be carried out with respect for human dignity, understanding how the
State exercises its power and fulfills its duties toward prisoners is essential in order to assess the
soundness of the criminal justice system and, ultimately, the degree of a nation’s civilization.
Indeed, nowhere more than in prison does the balance between repressive needs and individual
rights become so tangible.
The course therefore aims to explore how this balance is conceived in the Italian Constitution and in
the main supranational sources, and to examine how it is concretely implemented in primary and
secondary legislation, as well as in practice. Particular attention will be devoted to the so-called
elements of treatment, and especially to the exercise by prisoners of those rights that detention
should not deny – such as the rights to education, affection, and work.
Some fundamental decisions of the Constitutional Court and the European Court of Human Rights
(ECtHR) will be analyzed in detail during practical sessions that involve active student
participation.
Through these in-depth studies – intended to promote an understanding of the essential elements of
penitentiary law – students will be able to demonstrate their ability to apply the acquired knowledge
independently and with a critical approach.
1. Knowledge and understanding
By the end of the course, students will have acquired a systematic understanding of the
constitutional and supranational principles governing the execution of criminal sanctions, with
particular focus on the balance between repressive needs and the protection of prisoners’
fundamental rights. They will understand the historical and legal evolution of the purpose of
punishment and the role of the Constitutional Court and the European Court of Human Rights in
ensuring respect for human dignity and the rehabilitative aim of punishment.
2. Applying knowledge and understanding
Students will be able to apply the theoretical knowledge acquired to the critical analysis of concrete
cases and judicial decisions, both national and European, concerning prison law. Through exercises,
simulations, and seminars, they will be able to identify and interpret legal rules governing prison
treatment, understanding their impact on prisoners’ daily lives and on the criminal justice system as
a whole.

3. Making judgements
The course aims to develop students’ ability to make independent and critical assessments of the
functioning of the penitentiary system and of the effectiveness of prisoners’ rights protection.
Students will be encouraged to reflect on the relationship between security and human dignity, to
identify the strengths and weaknesses of the current system, and to formulate interpretative and
reform-oriented proposals consistent with constitutional and international principles.
4. Communication skills
Through oral presentations, case discussions, and flipped-classroom activities, students will develop
the ability to communicate clearly, coherently, and persuasively on complex legal issues related to
prison law. They will be able to present and defend their analyses before peers, instructors, and
professionals, using appropriate technical language and demonstrating awareness of institutional
contexts.
5. Learning skills
The course will provide methodological tools for the independent study of legal, regulatory, and
judicial sources in prison law. Students will learn to use academic literature, case law, and
documentary sources to explore specific topics, developing skills essential for continuous learning
and legal research. Supplementary activities – prison visits, seminars with practitioners, and
multimedia materials – will enhance learning abilities.

The examination consists of two parts:
Part I – Multiple-choice questions, aimed at assessing students' knowledge and understanding of the topics covered during the course, including the main concepts, principles, and institutions of international law.
Part II – Case study with open-ended questions, aimed at assessing students' ability to identify the relevant legal issues, apply the appropriate rules and principles of international law, develop a coherent legal analysis, and provide well-reasoned conclusions.
The final grade will reflect both the student's knowledge of the subject matter and their ability to apply legal principles to practical situations. Assessment will also take into account the accuracy of legal terminology, clarity of expression, and quality of legal reasoning.

Learning objectives

riminal phenomenology and investigation

Course Objectives
The course of criminal phenomenology and investigation, in the field of investigation, homeland and international security, is supposed to give to the students the right knowledge regarding tactical operations and legal actions, necessary to to undertake a training course suitable for achieving important job opportunities. The knowledge of the main criminal phenomenologies and of the related contractual action, together with the methodological-operational knowledge aimed at the organization and management of the most modern investigative and security strategies can certainly allow the student to acquire a specific preparation which he will be able to deepen in order to subsequently enter private companies or organizations that operate in the fields of investigations and security. Furthermore, the study of this course will allow participation in specific 2nd level masters (Criminal Sciences, Forensic Sciences, etc...), as well as in public competitions for accessing Police and Prefectural roles.
The ultimate goal is therefore to give students that basic knowledge suitable for understanding, analyzing and communicating problems related to security: legal-riminological and technical-investigative knowledge that will allow them to acquire specific professional skills in the field of security, with the eventual possibility, of supporting the judicial and public safety authorities in carrying out activities such as prevention, crime repression and protection of public order and safety.
