The epochal event that inaugurated the 21st century - the attack on the Twin Towers in New York on September 11, 2001 - gave unprecedented importance to the public good of security in all its dimensions: external and internal security; individual right to security or collective security of rights; safety in the material sense and in the ideal sense. In certain extreme cases, the protection of public security can come to justify the adoption of emergency and exceptional measures that question the foundations of the rule of law, as happened in the emblematic case of the Covid-19 pandemic. That said, the aim of the course is to provide students with the legal categories and methodological tools for framing the public good of territorial security in the various forms of state: absolute, liberal, democratic-pluralist and social. The course will focus on, in particular, the regulatory relevance of security in the Italian constitutional system, in the European space of the internal market, with a focus also on the living law of the Constitutional Court and supreme supranational courts.
