10620998 \| public contracts [SECS-P/01, IUS/10] [ITA]	1st	1st	9
Educational objectives ObjectivesThe course on public procurements is an interdisciplinary course focusing on legal aspects (Prof. Maria Vittoria Ferroni) and economic aspects (Prof. Berardino Cesi) within a multilevel context (European Law and National Law). This course aims to provide students with the necessary tools to prepare for the most essential principles and institutions of public procurement. It will cover the concept of public procurement procedures and their evolution, the principles of public contracts, planning and design, the primary tender documents, contractor selection procedures, sustainable procurement, participating entities and their requirements, bids, procedural remedies, award criteria, and the awarding of contracts. These contents can provide students with practical knowledge to develop specific skills related to national public administrations (including publicly owned companies) and those necessary to understand complex situations to apply such knowledge in the workplace. This course fits perfectly within the specific objectives of the degree program, as it allows for in-depth knowledge and an adequate understanding of the main tools used in the activity and the organization of public contracts. Through the course, the student will acquire a methodology for studying and researching public contracts and will be able to navigate among the leading institutions and public bodies, such as the central purchasing agencies and/or contracting authorities (Consip Italia s.r.l., Regional Governments or Ministries), and private companies that have integrated a procurement office within their internal structure. On one hand, this training provides the student with the necessary preparation for public competitions, and on the other, it gives the possibility of professional development in the private national or international European sector. This will enable students to develop the ability to apply what has been learned during the lectures also in a work-related context or to continue with subsequent levels of study. Finally, the verification of the achievement of the knowledge and abilities described will be realised not only through the traditional final exam but also through the continuous monitoring of the learning outcomes with an intermediate test covering the legal part. The test on the economic part will be conducted as a single exam that will take place at the end of that part of the course.

10606593 \| GEOPOLITICS OF THE ENVIRONMENT AND OF RESOURCES [M-GGR/02] [ITA]	1st	2nd	9
Educational objectives The purpose of the course is reasoning in holystic terms on the relation between space, power and resources. The geographical approach allows to ponder on a vast scale and multiple keys of spacial analysis in order to deeply understand the role of natural resources in the contemporary power dinamics. In line with these methodological tools, not only do the course approach the analysis of resource concept in a monodimensional way, but it also interprets the resources as a wider field of study, which means not just as simple points of contention among several actors. In fact, the course offers an alternative approach where both the resources and their related political relations within a certain space are functional lenses for studying power in its different meanings. It implies that the resources analysis is an essential reasoning tool that cannot be neglected for the comprehension of the power which struggles to control the above mentioned resources. All the themes will be declined using the proper tools of the geopolitical analysis. It means that the fact-finding will be linked to the spacial contest in which each resource is used. The preferential areas of study will be the Europe, the Mediterranean Sea and the Near and Middle East.
