This course seeks to explain the root causes of genocide. Embedded in the comparative method, the course will assess the long-term consequences of genocide and the possibilities for redress. By analyzing the differences among genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and violations of human rights, students will learn how to recognize genocide. Through individual case studies, students will be able to distinguish the different stages of genocide and to identify the patterns of destruction. A comparative analysis of specific aspects of genocide will enable to illuminate certain traits of individual and collective behaviour. In addition to historical method, the course would make use of sociological, anthropological, and legal theories relevant to the study of genocide. The geographical and methodological scope of the course would appeal to students with different academic interests.

It is important also to consider the role of technology in our understanding of ourselves as well as its role on the communication between us. What do we think about small, funny viruses or worms that destroy our PCs and look like email from our best friend?

The course aims at providing an understanding of the legal framework that governs international business transactions. The parties are not completely free to regulate their relationship or to ensure that the transaction is governed by a set of rules fully agreeable to them. This course explains how the legal framework restricts the parties’ freedom to contract in an international context. It gives therefore the tools to properly appreciate how far the drafting of an international contract may go, as well as to evaluate whether a claim based on an international contract is likely to be enforceable according to its terms or not.

The aim of the course is to focus on the main features of the law of contracts in various legal systems of the world, to show the common features and the main differences. A proper understanding of the relevant legal systems is necessary, first of all, if one is involved in an international legal relationship. However, insight in various legal systems is very useful also to understand and develop one’s own legal system, especially in light of the stronger and stronger internationalization of the legal sources.
