The course aims to provide students with the tools necessary to understand the purpose and nature of the European Union, the functioning of its institutions, and its sources of law. Union law, institutions, and agencies exert a significant influence on the regulation of economic and financial relations in Italy and other EU countries. It is therefore essential to know, understand, and be able to explain the objectives, what decisions the European Union makes, and how, to understand the institutional and economic dimension of the Union and how it interacts with the Italian system, as well as with its legislative, executive, and judicial branches, as well as with private actors. These skills are essential for future professionals in the legal and economic fields.
