  • to raise the students’ awareness a of the historical roots of the so-called "globalization"

    Please note that in the list first (Italian) editions are mentioned. Later editions are fine, too, as well as original editions in the case of translated books.

    Important notice:

  • The exam is usually oral. Students who attend classes regularly may be allowed to take a written exam on the textbook and content of the lessons, should they wish
  • Students who attend class regularly will be allowed to agree with the lecturer upon a different list of topics for the exam. To take the exam as a “regularly attending student” it is necessary to attend at least 80% of the lessons. Precise information on these opportunities will be given on the first day of class.
  • Students can take the exam in Italian, English, French, German or Spanish.
  • Erasmus students must take the exam in a language different from their mother tongue.
  • The examiner, at the beginning of the exam, will first of all ask the student to indicate the texts studied in order to identify precisely the topics on which to ask him/her questions. It is therefore very important to provide clear information. Indications such as "the book with the green cover" or "the volume that deals with families" will not be accepted. Students must indicate precisely the name of the author, the title and publisher of each book studied.
  • Learning Achievements (Dublin Descriptors)
