Course syllabus
Starting from the analysis of the gradual realisation of the internal market, i.e. its various stages of evolution, the course will pay particular attention to its current overall configuration and its possible future developments, also in view of the challenges that the European Union is facing: the withdrawal of a Member State, the economic-financial crisis, the important migratory phenomena, the consequences of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. European citizenship will then be analysed, together with the rights attached to the status of citizen.
Each of the four fundamental freedoms of the internal market (the free movement of persons, goods, services and capital) will then be examined in depth, so as to provide the student with the tools to understand the functioning of the internal market in the current economic and legal context of Europe. Special attention will be devoted to the digital single market, retracing the milestones of its evolution and analysing the most recent regulatory instruments (Digital Services Act, Digital Markets Act, AI Act).
The study of the internal market will be conducted through the analysis of the relevant legislation (the rules of the Treaties, but also the specific instruments of secondary legislation), as well as through an in-depth examination of the case law of the Court of Justice, which has helped to outline the principles underlying the functioning of the internal market and still provides a fundamental tool for its understanding and construction.
There is the possibility - for those who wish to do so - to participate in the selection for a training internship at Regione Lombardia, European Affairs structure.
A visit to the Court of Justice of the European Union is planned at the end of the course.
