Comprendere in che modo è organizzato il potere politico nelle nostre democrazie e quali sono le forme di governo in cui si struttura è l’obiettivo principale di questo corso, che ha basi giuridiche, anche se, come vedremo subito, si avvale di altre discipline fino al punto che lo si può considerare – in realtà – multidisciplinare. Questo corso guarda all’organizzazione delle forme di governo, alla loro logica di funzionamento ed evoluzione. Ciascun ordinamento costituzionale, ciascuna comunità politica, ha una sua propria forma di governo, sue proprie istituzioni politiche e queste possono essere classificate sulla base di una tipologia che, pur dando luogo a numerose varianti, si riconduce a pochi modelli base. Il corso si propone di studiare le origini di questi modelli e le caratteristiche principali assunte da ciascuno di essi, tenendo conto delle evoluzioni più recenti, al fine di trarne indicazioni per il presente e per il futuro, nell’ottica di una necessaria costante manutenzione costituzionale. Nel corso delle lezioni si terrà conto delle acquisizioni della miglior politologia e quelle di altre scienze a partire dalla storia politica e istituzionale e dall’antropologia culturale, nella convinzione che le soluzioni giuridiche vadano sempre e comunque valutate in relazione a uno specifico contesto.

An understanding of how political power is organised in our democracies, and what the resulting forms of government structure are, is the main aim of this course, which has a basis in law but, as you will see from the beginning, combines so many different subject areas that it can be termed multi-disciplinary. The course looks at the way different forms of government are organised, their functional logic and their evolution. Every constitutional order, every political community, has its own form of government and its own political institutions and these can be classified according to type because they are based on very few basic models despite the numerous variants. The course studies the origins of these basic models and the main features of each, taking recent changes into consideration to draw conclusions about the present and the future, within a perspective of a necessary and constant maintenance of the constitution. During the lessons, learners have the opportunity to study the best of politology and other subjects like institutional and political history and cultural anthropology
