The course aims to provide the basics in order to understand the phenomenon of territorial decentralization in Italy. The state is a regional state. Since 2001, Title V of the Constitution has strengthened regional powers. The jurisprudence of the Constitutional Court has specified the areas of competence State-Regions. The course provides useful tools to overcome these problems.

Unitary State, Federal State and Regional State. 2.- The regionalism and its historical evolution. 3.- The new Italian regionalism after the reform (L. Cost. 3/2001). 4.- Statutory autonomy and regional statutes. 5.- Legislative autonomy. 5.- Regulatory autonomy and administrative functions. 6.- Administrative federalism 7.- Organs and constitutional functions of the Regions. 8.- State, regional and local government reports. 9.- The recent jurisprudence of the Constitutional Court. 10.- The regions and the European Union. 11.- The adaptation to international law and the foreign power of the regions. 12. Financial autonomy: the so-called fiscal federalism. 13.- Controls (on the acts) and on the organs of the regions. 14.- Elements of comparative and European regional law. The course will also examine the recent modification of Title V of the Constitution, which took place in 2015-2016, to be submitted to a constitutional referendum.
