The PhD Programme, which is in line with the degree courses active at the Department of Law - intends to support research projects aimed at combining attention to cultural, technological and methodological innovation that legal sciences are called to deal in recent years, with a view that places the rights of the person in the foreground and the person as the main referent of law.
The growing complexity of the phenomena and relationships, which the jurist must contribute to governing, makes it more necessary than ever to clearly identify solid value foundations, and the reference to the person (the driving force of innovation but at the same time ultimately the recipient of it) as the key of reading modernity identifies a precious anchoring of research paths.
The PhD Programme sees the participation of academicians from both private law and public law sectors, on the assumption that phenomena such as digital innovation and the creation of value by the users themselves which is correlated to it, or the environmental sustainability of development economics, as well as the emergence and establishment of new production models, require a close correlation of the public and private sectors. In view of concentrating on the fundamental rights of the person as much as the reflection on the reform guidelines of public administration and national institutions and European, as well as proposals on market, business and forms of work developments.
In particular, the intense season of reforms affecting public administration in recent years requires the jurist's commitment to articulating and formulating proposals capable of combining the different needs that the reforms must address.
The participation of professors of philosophy of law and historical-comparative sectors also goes in the direction of developing in PhD students a methodological sensitivity that takes into account the social, economic, cultural aspects of a specific space-time context, developing the ability to contextualize and relativize of legal solutions, as well as investigating the innovation processes that have affected and are affecting the law itself.
