The social legislation module will propose a framework of the reference regulatory context for social services and policies in Italy, focusing on the management and administrative organization of the planning and implementation of interventions. The course will examine the path that led to the development of an integrated system of interventions and social services in Italy, analyzing its limits in its implementation and future prospects. Particular attention will be paid to the social-health integration process, proposing a comparative perspective from an interregional perspective.

The teacher will provide original study material (slides and handouts) in class, sharing them on the digital platform available to students.
Further in-depth material can be consulted upon request, in agreement with the teacher.

The student will have to know the planning and implementation process of interventions and social services, the social-health integration and to analyze the limits and potential of these processes in a comparative perspective.
