The second module of the course (in close continuity with the first) aims to deepen the transformations of the Italian economic constitution induced, on the one hand, by the entry into the Economic-Monetary Union established with the Maastricht Treaty and, on the other hand, by the impetuous dynamics of the economic-financial globalization of the last three decades. In particular, the European public finance constraints that are increasingly binding on the holding of the democratic-social state will be analyzed. Particular attention will be devoted to the effectiveness of fundamental social rights, in the framework of a powerful reorganization of supranational economic governance, following the so-called sovereign debt crisis.

1) The economic constitution of Maastricht: monetary policy and fiscal policy

2) The convergence of national fiscal policies

3) The completion of the internal market for services and its repercussions on the internal system

4) Systemic crisis of the monetary union and sovereign debt crisis

5) The responses to the crisis of the European Union: Fiscal compact and the European Stability Mechanism

6) The transformations of the democratic-social state and of the  Regions legal systems

7) The Italian economic constitution in the vortex of financial globalization

8) The transformation of European economic governance and social rights
