Politics and institutions in the globalization era

Knowledge and understanding. Students will be required to demonstrate that they have acquired and understood the processes underlying the formation of public policies, with particular reference to governance systems involving public–private partnerships.

Applied knowledge and understanding. By the end of the course, students should be able to use the skills they have acquired, also in professional and academic contexts, to identify relationships and mechanisms of public management from the local to the international level.

Making judgments. By the end of the course, students are expected to develop an independent ability to critically process information drawn from the literature and public debate, to search for reliable and alternative sources, and to understand the limitations and potential of new technologies, including generative AI. They should also be able to identify and implement management strategies and the governance of systems.

Communication skills. At the end of the course, students should have the necessary skills to clearly and coherently articulate the knowledge acquired, enriching their vocabulary with technical and discipline-specific terms.

Learning skills. By the end of the course, students should possess the abilities and competencies needed to continue learning independently, including self-management in identifying and studying texts and sources, as well as producing in-depth analyses and synthesizing the literature into dedicated reviews.
