Detailed Syllabus
The course proposes an accurate analysis of power constructions ruling the relationships State-citizens, from the social's conctract to modern institutions, with a special eye to the gender matter
Expected Learning Outcomes
Students are required to be able to briefly outline the framework of the punitive requirements arising from financial globalisation and the increasingly fierce predatory aggression of organised economic crime.
They are also required to be able to identify the responsible parties within the company, with particular reference to the institution of the delegation of functions and its conditions of validity and effectiveness. Students will be required to be able to analyse the institutions that traditionally govern the objective and subjective imputation of criminal liability (legal obligation of impediment and positions of guarantee, which are also subject to continuous regulatory innovations, concurrence of persons in the offence, extinguishing causes of punishability), as well as the effects, on a practical level, of their ‘reaction’ to the anonymous, impersonal and collective dimension of modern business organisations. It will also be required to be able to enucleate those general notions necessary to guarantee a systematic vision of the individual figures of offence, also in their relations and mutual interference, as well as to ensure the consistency of the various interpretative options.
