▌INTRODUCTION
What is ECTS?
The European Community promotes inter-university co-operation as a means for improving the
quality of education to the benefit of students and higher education institutions alike. Student
mobility constitutes a primary feature of that co-operation. The LLP Erasmus programme clearly
demonstrates that a study period abroad can constitute a particularly precious experience, not
only being the best way to discover countries, ideas, languages and cultures different from one's
own but also because it is gaining a growing importance in the evolution of university and
professional careers.
The creation of a single European area in the field of education, where students and teachers
can move freely without barriers, goes upon the recognition of the studies undertaken and the
qualifications achieved abroad. For this reason ECTS - the English acronym for the European
Community Course Credit Transfer System - was born, originally as a master plan within the
framework of the previous Erasmus programme, with the aim of promoting academic recognition
of studies undertaken abroad. The European Commission decided to include ECTS in the Socrates
programme, in particular within Sector I reserved to higher education (Erasmus), given the
conclusive effectiveness of the ECTS system. After the first stage planned for a limited
application, ECTS is now becoming much more meaningful to the extent of becoming a
permanent feature of the European context of higher education.
ECTS is above all pursuing transparency, establishing the conditions necessary to bring
institutions closer together and broadening the range of choices offered to students. Its
application facilitates the recognition of students' academic results through to the use of widely
understood standards - credits and grades - as well as a better understanding of the national
systems of higher education.
ECTS goes upon three basic elements:
1) Information on study plans and student results,
2) Reciprocal agreement (between the participating institutions and the student) and
3) The use of ECTS credits (values representing the working load done by the student).
Principal Features of ECTS
ECTS is thus founded upon three basic elements: information on study plans and student results,
reciprocal agreement (between the participating institutions and the student) and the use of
ECTS credits (values representing the workload done by the student). These three basic
elements are effective through three fundamental documents:
1) The information brochure,
2) The application form/learning agreement and
3) The transcript of records, as to the studies done.
But the essential aspect is that ECTS is activated by the students, the teachers and the
institutions which intend to make studying abroad a whole part of the learning experience.
Indeed, ECTS does not, in any way, determine the contents, the structure or the equivalence of
study programmes. These qualitative aspects must be decided upon directly by the higher
education institutions in the moment of setting, either through bilateral or multilateral
agreements, the basis for a viable co-operation. The code of good practice proposed by ECTS
4
offers the interested parties the tools suitable to pursue transparency and academic
recognition.
Full academic recognition is a sine qua non condition of student mobility within the framework
of the LLP Erasmus programme. Full academic recognition requires the period of study abroad
(including exams and other forms of evaluation) to effectively substitute a comparable period of
study (including exams and other forms of assessment) in the institution of origin
notwithstanding the fact that there may be differences in the contents of the programme.
ECTS goes on voluntary use and reciprocal trust at academic level among the participating
institutions. Every institution chooses its own partners.
Transparency
ECTS guarantees transparency through the following instruments:
 ECTS credits, - a numerical value assigned to a course unit – which represent the working
load that a student must undertake in order to complete a given course unit. The credits
express the quantity of work every course unit requires with respect to the global volume of
work necessary to successfully complete a full year's study at the institution, that is:
lectures, practical work, seminars, traineeships, research or surveys, personal study - either
at home or in the library - together with exams and other forms of student assessment. ECTS
is, therefore, based on the overall working load of the student and not merely limited to
lecture hours. 60 credits represent the working load for a full academic year's study and, as a
rule, 30 credits are equivalent to a semester and 20 credits to a trimester.
 The ECTS information brochure, which provides useful information to students and
personnel about the institutions, faculties/departments, course organisation and structure as
well as the individual course units.
 The ECTS learning agreement, which describes the study plan the student has to follow and
indicates the ECTS credits that shall grant upon satisfactory completion thereof. The
agreement binds the student to attend the host university's programme as the main part of
their higher education, the institution of origin to guarantee the student full academic
recognition of the credits obtained abroad and, the host institution to provide the agreed
course units to the extent allowed by the academic calendar.
 The ECTS transcript of records, which presents the student's academic results in a clear,
complete and comprehensible manner for each part and which must be easily transferable
from one institution to another.
To facilitate the academic recognition of the studies undertaken or completed abroad, good
communication and flexibility are required. In this regard the ECTS co-ordinators carry out a
fundamental role monitoring the academic and administrative aspects of ECTS.
As a rule, it is necessary to make available to the students the entire range of course units of
the department that implements ECTS, including those units relating to postgraduate studies.
The students must be able to attend regular courses - and not especially set up for them - and
must be given the opportunity to satisfy the demands of the host institution giving an academic
qualification. Reliance on ECTS credits guarantees the organisation of programmes, which are
reasonable in terms of working load for the period of study abroad. For instance, 120 ECTS
credits for a year require a student to work twice as hard as an average student whose plan is 60
credits. At the same time, 30 ECTS credits for a year period correspond to a part-time studying.
5
ECTS, moreover, allows students to continue their studies abroad. In fact, it can happen that
once the original study period is over the student may not wish to return to their original
institution but may instead prefer to remain in the host institution - possibly to graduate from
there - or move on to a third institution. Such decision may not be taken without the agreement
of all institutions involved which in any case have to set the conditions to fulfil in order to
graduate from the host institution or transfer to a third institution. The ECTS certificate is a
chronology of the student's academic record and it can constitute a particularly useful
instrument for the institutions to manage such a decision.

▌EDUCATION IN ITALY
Until 1989 (Law 168/1989) the entire Italian educational system was under the Ministry of
Education. At that time the Ministry of Universities and Scientific Research was created to take
over the responsibilities of university education and scientific and technological research. The
two entities are currently encompassed under the organisational designation Ministero
dell’Istruzione, dell’Università e della Ricerca - MIUR (Ministry of Education, University and
Research). Information for foreign students can be found at www.study-in-italy.it ).
PRIMARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATION
Cycles
Following the 2003 Reform of primary and secondary education, the Italian school system has
been reorganised as follows:
 First cycle
Primary education: 5 years of schooling beginning at age 6;
Secondary education (first degree): 3 years of schooling beginning at age
11.
 Second cycle  Secondary education (second degree): 5 years of schooling beginning at age
14.

The higher secondary schools are of various types: classical, scientific, linguistic, artistic,
technical and vocational studies as well as teacher training. At the end of the 5-year course,
students take the examination to obtain the Diploma di Maturità in the specialised area they
have chosen. This diploma grants admission to an Italian university.
Grading System
Until 1968, secondary school grading was on a scale of 0-10, 6 being the minimum passing grade.
From 1969 to 1999, final marks were on a scale of 0-60, 36 being the minimum passing grade.
Since 2000 a different system has been implemented: final marks are on a scale of 0-100 and
the minimum passing grade is 60.
UNIVERSITY EDUCATION
Admission
Admission to Italian universities grants only to holders of a Diploma di maturità from an Italian
secondary school. Foreign students, or Italian students from secondary schools abroad, are
admitted on the strength of equivalent qualifications. There are no limitations on admission
except in Medical School (medicine, dentistry, veterinary), in private independent universities
(like LUISS Guido Carli or Bocconi in Milan), and in newly established universities/degree
courses.
Grading System
In the university grading system, individual courses grade on a scale of 18-30. The maximum
final grade is 110, after the dissertation of a thesis on a free topic. For very brilliant students
the degree may be awarded cum laude.
< 18 =

Academic Qualifications and Degrees
1. University Diploma
This is a first-level university qualification for courses lasting 3 years. For admission to these
courses, students must have a Diploma di Maturità.
2. Laurea (Degree)
The system of university study in Italy has undergone an overall reform in terms of structure and
teaching system. Up to 2001, to obtain a Laurea, the basic university degree, used to take 4 to 6
years, depending on the field of study. From the academic year 2001/2002, universities have
adopted three study cycles. The first cycle, three years in length, is characterised by a
professional training type content and concludes with the award of a first-level degree (Laurea
Triennale – Bachelor Degree); the second cycle, lasting two years, concludes with the award of
a second-level Master’s degree (Laurea Magistralis – Master’s Degree); while the third cycle,
lasting from one to three years, leads to the award of either a doctorate or a specialised
postgraduate degree.
Teaching activity is organized in faculties, which offer one or more degree courses in specific
academic areas. Course requirements are established by law and the laurea is obtained after the
student has passed a set number of exams, gained the required credits, and successfully
discussed a written research paper. Admission to the Laurea programme is regulated by the
general rules for university admission. Courses for masters degrees may also be offered parallel
to each study cycle. All study programmes must be based on the European system for the
transfer of academic credits (ECTS) as provided for in recent agreements reached at EU level.
Along with the three-cycle program system established by the Italian Ministerial Decrees, a
limited number of “old” second cycle programs (dental medicine, human medicine, pharmacy,
veterinary medicine, architecture, law) coexist with the new university system. These
programs, called One-Cycle Programs, aim at providing students with advanced education and
training for highly qualified professions in specific areas. The general access requirement is
upper secondary school degree or a comparable foreign qualification. Admission to individual
degree programs may be subject to specific course requirements.
One-Cycle Programs last five years and require 300 credits (European Credit Transfer System) for
completion (only human medicine requires six years and 360 credits). The degree awarded is a
Master’s Degree which grants access to competitions for the civil service, to regulated and nonregulated professions, doctoral programs and all the other postgraduate study degree programs.
3. Research Doctorate
The aim of the doctoral studies programmes is to offer post-graduate opportunity for research.
Programmes include individual research under the guidance of professors and special seminars.
The minimum period of study is three years. This third-level academic degree, Doctorate of
Research, is awarded to candidates who have successfully documented their research and
written an original final thesis. This programme is open to a limited number of candidates (also
from foreign countries), who must be university graduates or hold equivalent degrees.
8
3a. Post-graduate Diplomas of Specialization
These diplomas are given by schools offering special advanced courses in various professions.
The limited places are reserved for university graduates or those with equivalent foreign
qualifications. The courses last 2/3 years and include practical experience. Attendance is
mandatory. The final examination is a defence of a written thesis.

2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Type
LUISS Guido Carli is an independent university. It was established according to Article 1 of
Italy’s Higher Education Act, which gives independent universities full legal status while
guaranteeing their autonomy in the areas of administration, teaching and discipline. Its degrees
and diplomas have complete legal and academic recognition.
10
LUISS Guido Carli was set up in 1976-78 by a consortium of private and public companies, that
re-organized a pre-existing Institution, “Pro Deo”. Its goal is to form students to assume the
responsibilities of managing complex economic systems in both the State and private sectors.
At present LUISS Guido Carli has three Faculties: Economics, Law and Political Science.
Certain features characterize LUISS Guido Carli:
 a set number of students for the three faculties;
 admission by entrance test;
 full time compulsory attendance of courses;
 organisation of courses into semesters;
 a highly qualified teaching staff;
 intensive study of foreign languages and computer training;
 a large specialised library and a catalogue that can be consulted directly from the
University’s web site;
 an extensive network of international exchanges;
 orientation for high school students;
 seminars and debates on important issues as a complement to lectures;
 assistance by qualified tutors during the entire university study period as well as
traineeships;
 personal counselling service to facilitate integration and to optimise study
strategies.
Professors and lecturers are appointed from the academic world, the professions, senior State
and private sector management. Lectures are held in Italian and English. They are integrated
by seminars, debates and conferences on both Italian and international topics, often with the
participation of prominent guest speakers.
The annual tuition fee at LUISS Guido Carli, for the a. y. 2010/2011, is € 7,500 for Political
Science and Economics and € 7,800 for Law. The annual tuition fee for the English-language

EXCHANGE STUDENTS
LLP ERASMUS PROGRAMME AND BILATERAL AGREEMENTS
The Student Exchange Office (Viale Romania,32 00197 Rome) deals with orientation and
registration of students on exchange programmes (LLP Erasmus and Bilateral Agreements).
Every year, around the month of February, LUISS sends an info-package to every partner
Institution by e-mail. It contains information for exchange students and application forms for:
- Online registration, including the ‘Learning Agreement’(or proposed programme of study)
- Accommodation
- The intensive course in Italian Language in September.
All applications, in electronic and paper version, completed and signed, must be received by
May 31, that is the fixed deadline for fall and/or spring semester applications every year.
As soon as the application forms are received, in June, LUISS will send incoming students
acceptance letters and practical information.
Since courses and examinations are mainly held in Italian, students will need to have an
adequate knowledge of the language before beginning their courses. If necessary, they can
attend an intensive Italian course that is held every year at LUISS Guido Carli in September.
There are set, mandatory arrival dates for each academic year. The dates are not yet available,
but they will be made available and sent to partners institutions as soon as possible.

The language of instruction is mainly Italian. Every year, LUISS offers some courses in English.
The final list is available at the beginning of classes.
The standard working load for LUISS students is about 30 credits/semester, including two
language courses. Guest students are advised not to take more than the average working load.
On making their choice of courses exchange students should: check the pre-requisites, avoid
time-table clashes for attendance is compulsory, pick courses only at their level (Bachelor or
Master).
Full-year courses can only be taken by the students that will spend the whole academic year at
LUISS. If these conditions are met, guest students have access to all the courses in the three
LUISS Faculties.
In order to attend the Master’s Degree Courses students must have:
- a Bachelor degree or three years of study completed before departure;
- a very good command of the Italian/English language.
Please note that it will be very difficult to mix Bachelor and Master’s courses because of the
different timetables, calendar and examination periods.
Full-time attendance of classes is mandatory.
The final examinations for each course are oral and sometimes written. Written tests may be
given occasionally during the course.
Guest students are registered automatically for all the examination dates (Appelli) for all the
courses they have chosen.
Exams can be taken only on the official dates.
Please note that NO special examination can be arranged for exchange students.
The original transcripts of records will be sent both to the students and partner institutions
after the end of each examination session.
To the students who come to LUISS for the whole academic year or for the second semester, the
transcripts will be sent at the end of the first week of September. Our summer examination
session ends on July 24 and transcripts cannot be prepared before the session is over. Since the
University closes in August, the transcripts can only be issued by the Student Office after the
summer break.

Beginners Level
The course is for absolute and false beginners, students who have attended 0-30 hours of
lessons. Its aim is to enable participants to communicate on topics of immediate relevance (for
example, give basic personal and family details, make purchases, describe surroundings and
explain one's job).
Intermediate Level
This level is for those who have already attended an Italian course and are able to communicate
in everyday situations.
The principal aim of the course is to improve oral communication. Particular emphasis is placed
on listening comprehension to enable students to take full advantage of lectures in their chosen
field.
Advanced Level
This level is for those who are already proficient in the language and need to develop specialist
language areas.
The main aim is to help the student reach a high standard of reading and writing skills.
Extra curricular activities
These include:

Film shows followed by discussion;

Meetings with Italian businessmen;

Talks by LUISS Guido Carli professors;

Guided tours.
The activities and meetings develop topics already discussed in class and take into account the
interests of individual participants.
18
Italian language semester courses
During the academic year, students have weekly meetings with their Italian language teacher.
This gives them the opportunity to discuss any problems they might have with their Italian and
to learn more about their cultural environment.
The courses comprise three hours per week in both first and second semester. The main aim of
the courses is to improve oral communication, reading and writing skills.

Exchange Office does not take direct responsibility in providing accommodation. A private
organisation, C.T.S., takes care of it according to the application forms received (by C.T.S.
and the Student Exchange Office of LUISS Guido Carli) by May 31.

analyses of the legal, economic, historical and political aspects that affect international
phenomena. A traditional teaching approach is combined with methods that get students
more involved, and they will be expected to improve their public-speaking skills, carry out indepth research, and organize and manage work. Graduates will be in a position to face
problems analytically but with a systemic approach, identify their effects – including
collateral and involuntary ones – and implement highly significant solutions within an
appropriate time frame. The course structure calls for mandatory attendance of a workshop
(on the analysis of the socio-political-institutional dynamics of globalization) or an internship
with international and EU organizations, diplomatic delegations, and private companies
working on an international and/or EU level.
3.1) This course focuses on information flows and communication strategies in public bodies
and private enterprises as well as on communication in economic, institutional and
geopolitical matters. It offers an advanced training to become “experts of communication” by
using an interdisciplinary approach as well as the instruments of analysis and empiric research
aimed to manage institutional intervention.
3.2) This course provides students with the skills and methods related to the main
institutional, legal, political and economical disciplines. Its objective is to work out
government strategies for innovation, organization and management of public administration
services.
Each degree course consists of 120 credits.

PS1-PP21a-B: POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY
I year; fall semester; 64 lectures; 6 hrs per week; 8 credits
The course comprises two parts, the first general in nature and the second devoted to a specific
issue. The first part reviews the types of forms of government as per the categories espoused by
classic political thought from ancient times to the end of the XIX century. The main works of
some classic writers will be examined, especially their most famous ones. The second part will
reconstruct, referring also to the classics, the various concepts of liberty as they have developed
(and even clashed) over the centuries, covering liberal liberty, democratic liberty, socialist
liberty and 'other' liberties, whereby other is meant catholic liberty and communist liberty.

22a
PS3-PP22a-B: POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY
Taking a historical and theoretical approach, the first section examines some of the classical
themes of political philosophy, and particularly the relationship between politics and morals,
law and science. It then conducts a philosophical and epistemological analysis of the concepts of
ideology, totalitarianism, social justice, laicism and the rationality of political decisions, moving
on to a more general examination of the main theoretical aspects of the different acceptations
of democracy and liberalism. The second part will be devoted to intercultural comparisons: the
hermeneutical, epistemological and political conditions of the relationship between different
civilizations and cultures will be explored, critiquing the "myth of the framework" of
"incommensurable cultures", and proposing theoretical instruments to encourage understanding
and dialogue among individuals and groups that are culturally very distant from each other.

PS3-PP22b-B: POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY
The course is set up in two parts: the first one is general and the second specialised. The general
part examines the type of forms of government as established by the "classics" of political
41
thought, from antiquity to the 19th century. For some of these "classics", the course will pay
special attention to the main work, i.e. the one that made them most famous. The specialised
part will instead reconstruct the different conceptions of "liberty" – turning to the "classics" here
as well – as they have developed (and possibly clashed) over the centuries. Therefore, the course
will investigate liberal liberty, democratic liberty, socialist liberty and, lastly, "other" liberties,
i.e. Catholic liberty and communist liberty.

PS1-CHEPS6a/b-M: COMPARATIVE HISTORY OF EUROPEAN POLITICAL SYSTEMS
After an introduction to problems and methods centred on a comparative approach, the course
will be divided into three modules. The first will be devoted to the comparative study of
European political systems from 1945 through today, with particular reference to France and
Italy: the Fourth Republic and the formation of the Fifth Republic in France, the First Republic in
Italy and the so-called "transition" of the 1990s through today. The second module, likewise from
a comparative standpoint, will be dedicated to the Italian and French political systems from
1945 through today, and will then analyse the recent changes of European parties in general. In
particular, the module will take an in-depth look at several cases, most of which in the area of
the European left- and right-wing parties. The third module will examine changes in democracy
in terms of history and political studies: from the birth of the "democracy of opinion" to changes
in representative democracy, the spread of the so-called "anti-politics" and the emergence of
"participatory democracy".

PS1-CP7a/b-M and PS2-CP8a/b-M: COMPARATIVE POLITICS
I and II year; fall semester; 64 lectures; 3 hrs per week; 8 credits
The course can be considered an applicative extension of the analyses of political science
regarding certain "properties" of contemporary political systems – regimes, forms of government,
33
party structure, civic culture, political representation, electoral procedures, decision-making
mechanisms, policy production, etc. - considered according to the rules of the comparative
method.
The first part of the course will investigate the general theories, logical procedures and
empirical techniques of the comparative approach.
The second part will be devoted to the theory of the models of democracy and a comparative
analysis of empirical cases. In particular, it will analyse the processes of the transition from
democratic to non-democratic forms (and vice-versa) of contemporary political systems, and the
problem of the requirements of the "quality" of democracy as empirically verifiable aspects.

PS1-EPS(Eng)15-M: EUROPEAN POLITICAL SYSTEMS (in English)
The course aims at presenting, in an historical perspective and using an historical methodology,
the political and institutional evolution of the biggest Western European countries from the end
of the Great War until the 1980s, placing that evolution within the framework of the changing
international situation.
The initial part of the course will be devoted to a general presentation of the political issues
Europe had to confront since the outbreak of the French Revolution. Although WW I undoubtedly
represents a watershed in European history, most of the problems which troubled the continent
since 1918 have their roots in the previous century.
The intellectual pivot around which this general presentation, and most of the course, will turn
is liberalism: an ambiguous and multifaceted ideology, both extremely powerful and vehemently
criticised and opposed, which can provide an interpretative framework for the evolution of the
European political scene in the last two centuries.
A second part of the course will deal with the 1920s and 1930s: the troubles of "traditional"
democracies (UK and France), the advent of Fascism in Italy, the rise and fall of the Weimar
Republic and the advent of nazism in Germany. The possibility of using the ideal-type of
totalitarianism in order to understand Fascist Italy, Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia will be
discussed.
The third and more substantial part of the course will be devoted to post-1945 Western
European political systems. The restoration of liberalism - civil and political rights,
representative government, market economy - to Italy, France and Germany in the late forties
will be considered, as well as the political transformation of the United Kingdom. The course
will then consider in a comparative perspective the political stabilisation, coupled with the
beginnings of a relevant economic and social transformation, of the fifties; the cultural, social
and political "progressive turn" of the sixties, signalling the final demise of "traditional" Europe;
the political upheavals of 1968; the economic and political troubles of the seventies; the
"conservative" turn of the eighties, marking in many ways the end both of the sixties and of the
"long" post-war period.
A group of lectures will be especially devoted to the European extreme right from 1945 until
1989.

PS1-IE(Eng)24a/b-M: INTERNATIONAL ECONOMICS (in English)
The course is devoted to the macro- and micro-economics of the European integration from 1957
onwards.
The first part of the course deals with the historical developments leading to today’s
institutional architecture, and with the macroeconomic governance of the EU, notably the
Stability and Growth Pact and the European Central Bank. After quickly describing the
institutions per se – they have been presented in other courses-, the course aims at extensively
covering their theoretical background. Seminal theoretical models will be presented and
reproduced; their main analytical content will be summarized in an accessible manner.
The second part deals with the microeconomics of economic integration, and tackles issues such
as the common agricultural policy, competition policy, and trade. The introduction of analytical
tools will help to understand the reliance of prominent European actors, such as the European
Commission but also European governments, on liberalism.

PS2-MR34-M: MEDIA RESEARCH
The general approach is inspired by the research tradition of European media, audience and
cultural studies. The course will examine the media as venues and frameworks of social
knowledge, and will provide indications on the main methods used in media research. The
course is divided into four main segments. The first will take a critical look at the leading
46
theories and modelisation of communications; the second will focus on problems connected with
studying audiences (from the theory of effects to the concept of active audience); the third will
concentrate on media research methods (texts and institutions); the last one will analyse new
social uses of media (domestication processes, audience evolution, online social interaction,
social networking). The basic concepts of the methodology of social research serve as a crosscutting element.

PS2-SCAVM40-M: SEMIOLOGY OF CINEMA AND AUDIO-VISUAL MEDIA
The course starts with the assumption – functional from an educational standpoint, albeit with
the necessary distinctions – that, like any textual device, by launching viewer cooperation
cinema can make the most varied architectures of sense converge on data and information,
orienting its discursive assumptions in a connotative direction. The theoretical gains of Vladimir
J. Propp and the contribution of the generative semiotics of Algirdas J. Greimas, alongside the
perspective of Umberto Eco and Gianfranco Bettetini, will guide the analysis of film and its
capacity of signification.
The lessons will examine the stages of a film: from the unique writing style used for a
cinematographic text (subject, outline, script) to filming (framing, shooting, editing) and on to
strictly production-related aspects (from the problems of constructing a financial project to
issues tied to the problems of distribution and communication, paying special attention to the
construction of short texts: the trailer, from the teaser trailer to the TV spot).
An introductory section of the course will assess the need to set up a module (8 hours) on the
great coordinates of the history of Italian and international cinema, and the main film genres
and movements, with a special focus on several authors. This module will facilitate
understanding of the formal development of the language of cinema.
The final objective of the course is thus to ensure that students will acquire all the instruments
they need to conduct a precise and in-depth semiological analysis of an audio-visual film text.

PS2-SF41-M: SEMIOTICS OF FASHION
The course analyses the complex milieu of fashion phenomena from a semiotic perspective. In
particular, the course programme will explore the world of fashion from a theoretical standpoint
but also from the perspective of textual analysis, conducted starting with the selection of a
corpus of examples.
The lessons will investigate the socio-semiotic logics of fashion, with particular reference to the
relationship between fashion and social change, and to the phenomena of fashion
communication in the context of cross-mediality and the digital media.

PS1-THPAI48a/b-M: THEORY AND HISTORY OF POLITICAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE INSTITUTIONS
The course will be conducted in two phases, one of which essentially theoretical and the other
more historical.
The first phase will analyse:
- the "Italian" precursors of the discipline (Anzilotti, Salvemini, Ottokar) and the contribution
of Gaetano Mosca and Teodosio Marchi to the development of a modern "history of
institutions";
- the revolt against legal formalism in the early 20th century;
- the contribution of German historiography to overcoming the law-society dichotomy;
- the theory of "material constitution" according to Costantino Mortati;
- "political realism", the "historic-institutional" method and the "primacy of institutions" in
the work of Giuseppe Maranini, characterised by an openly multidisciplinary approach.
The second part of the course will analyse the essential issues of the discipline, connected with
pressing current problems:
- politics and administration in a united Italy: the difficult relationship between urban and
suburban areas;
- city government in 19th- and 20th-century Europe.
Projects to reform republican institutions in Italy over the past three decades and the related
theoretical debate.

▌SCHOOL OF GOVERNMENT (SoG)
The LUISS School of Government (SoG) is a graduate institution training high-level public and
private officials to handle political and government decision-making processes. It is committed
to provide theoretical and hands-on skills of good government to the future heads of the
legislative, governmental and administrative institutions, industry, special-interest associations,
non-governmental groups, political parties, consultancy firms, public policy research
institutions, foundations and public affairs institutions.
The SoG provides its students with the skills needed to respond to current and future public
policy challenges. While public politics was enclosed within the state throughout most of the last
century, the same thing cannot be said for the new century. Public politics is now actively
conducted outside and beyond the state. Not only in Europe but also around the world, states do
not have total control over those public political processes that influence their decisions. While
markets are Europeanised and globalised, the same cannot be said for the state.
The educational contents of the SoG reflect the need to grasp this evolving scenario since it
combines the theoretical aspects of political studies (such as political science, international
relations, economics, law, history, sociology, organisation and management) with the practical
components of government (such as those connected with the analysis and evaluation of public
policies, public opinion, interests’ representation, advocacy and organizational leadership). The
SoG thus represents an innovative centre for scientific and professional training. The first in
Italy, one of the few in Europe.
The School creates strong capacity in national and international governance by offering
opportunities of advanced education and training in policy and public management. Its master
courses prepare students for high-level positions in government institutions, European and
international organizations, industry, private sector consultancies, NGOs and public policy
research centres. Students are trained to apply modern theories and techniques of public policy
development taking into consideration the political and social context where these policies are
designed and implemented. All courses involve strong interactions with renowned European and
international personalities and practitioners via guest lectures, policy debates and colloquia.
Currently the School offers four master programmes in Italian and English (NOT OPEN TO
EXCHANGE STUDENTS)
-
The Master in Italian Political Affairs (in Italian), a first-level master's degree (i.e. for
students who have completed their three-year bachelor's degree) to train the future
officials and leaders of parties, non-governmental organisations, cooperative and trade
associations, and functional interest groups, i.e. public-opinion analysts and consultants
for electoral mobilisation and political promotion.
-
The Master in Parliament and Public Policy (in Italian), a second-level master's degree
(i.e. for students who have completed the two-years magisterial programme) and it has
already been offered for several years by the LUISS. Its goal is to train officials for
constitutional national and supranational bodies (the Chamber of Deputies, the Italian
Senate, the Presidency of the Republic, the Constitutional Court, the European
Parliament), government agencies and local and regional institutions. The programme
trains officials who are not only capable of backing the activities of political organs but
who can also assess the implications of the decisions that are made by these bodies.
-
The Master in European Studies (in English), http://sog.luiss.it/mes_eng.php
(RESTRICTED ACCESS TO EXCHANGE STUDENTS – Very limited number of places –
students can contact the Student Exchange Office) a first-level master's programme to
64
train officials who are interested in working within the institutions of the European Union
or with the national and regional institutions connected with them. Its goal is to prepare
officials for the various agencies involved in the EU process: personnel trained to deal
with the European policies and processes at the various decision-making levels (regional,
national and European) where they take place. The Master is now in its second year of
operation.
An Interdisciplinary Programme aims to provide students with a broad yet specific
knowledge in all of those subjects that constitute the heart and soul of modern Europe,
its history and politics, its economic and social fabric as well as its legal, institutional and
organisational framework, not only concerning the EU but also the European continent as
a whole and it’s external relations. Special emphasis is laid on issues of EuropeanMediterranean relations and cooperation. The Faculty consists of highly qualified
academics from different countries and the programme is taught entirely in English.
The Master is a one-year postgraduate study programme following the bachelor’s level. It
is a nine-month full-time programme, structured in two semesters, the first of which runs
from the beginning of October to mid-February, the second from mid-February to the end
of June.
The Master in EU Studies is a post-graduate advanced programme for a limited number of
students. Courses are therefore available only for exchange students who have the
necessary pre-requisites and a very good level of English language. More information on
the participation to the Master in EU Studies courses will be available for the students at
their arrival to LUISS.

(in
English),
The
Master
in
International
Public
Affairs
http://sog.luiss.it/mipa_eng.php - a second-level master's programme to train Italian and
foreign top officials who are interested in working within the various networks of the
institutions and organizations operating at the international level, i.e. international
institutions and non-government organisations, regulatory agencies and pressure groups,
and associations that handle international monitoring and consultancy activities.
The master trains experts in international public policy and political affairs. It is aimed at
students with full undergraduate or graduate degrees in social and political sciences,
economics, law, history and humanities and/or consolidated professional experience in
the field of public affairs and policy making. The course is to give the tools for managing
the challenges of policy-making in a globalised world. Students, therefore, will be
exposed to an interdisciplinary academic and professional programme led by leading
international academics and practitioners. All MIPA courses and activities are in English.
Linking theory to practice is at the heart of this master course. Students are also to
benefit from regular interactions with renowned global personalities:



Guest Lectures: practitioners are invited to share their experiences;
Policy Debates: students are invited to exchange views in structured debates on
current issues of public policy, moderated by public policy experts;
Colloquia: faculty members are to team up with guest practitioners to examine and
present case studies linking theory to practical application.

▌THE SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM
The School of Specialisation in Journalism “Massimo Baldini” is part of the Faculty of Political
Science at LUISS Guido Carli and offers 40 places per year for graduates coming from various
disciplines.
Attendance is mandatory for a two-year period.
The School is recognised by the Italian Order of Journalism and has a teaching staff of 55
experts, comprising professors holding various university chairs, journalists and highly qualified
professional tutors.
Each of the two courses, in the two academic years, include about 33 disciplines for a total of
600 classroom hours and approximately 1,400 hours in laboratories dedicated to text editing,
video-composition and radio-television.
During the practical activities use is made of technologically advanced didactic structures
together with Ansa news bulletins and telematic services through Internet.
During the year, Seminars are organised discussing particular themes, and comparisons in the
communications sector are made between Italy and other countries, with the participation of
foreign experts and journalists.
Technical-professional training is furthered by the use of the periodical: the multi-weekly
Agency, LUISSMediaNews.
Students are assisted by a group of journalists specialised in various fields who, acting in the
capacity of tutors, collaborate with radio-television technicians and computer experts to
promote and co-ordinate the preparation of features and practical activities for
videocomposition, television filming, recording of radio interviews and the mounting of
television newscasts and news-bulletins.
At the end of the two years of attendance, the acknowledgement of the apprenticeship is
obtained, according to the agreements of the Order of Journalists.
Please note that the courses of the School are not open to LLP Erasmus students
or students under other exchange agreements.

▌USEFUL INFORMATION FOR GUEST STUDENTS
COST OF LIVING
MONEY
On January 1st, 2002 the Euro was introduced as legal currency in Italy, substituting the Italian
“Lira”.

Banks – opening hours: Monday to Friday; 8.30 a.m.- 1.30 p.m. and 2.45 p.m. - 3.45
p.m. We suggest that you go to the bank in the morning. If you wish to open a bank
account in Italy you will first have to obtain your Codice Fiscale (see n.9 TAXPAYER’S
CODE NUMBER).

Credit cards are widely accepted in restaurants, hotels, railway stations and shops. You
may use a credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, etc) to cash Euro from
Automatic Teller Machines – ATM – available in every bank at all times. Most cards have a
limit on the amount of cash which can be withdrawn.
We recommend that students bring along a sufficient amount of Euros or travellers cheques to
cover immediate necessities (keep in mind that there are considerable delays involved in
transferring money to Italy from abroad!).
ACCOMMODATION
LUISS University has no dormitory facilities. Most Erasmus students live in private apartments
with Italian or international roommates in the neighbourhoods nearby the University.
The Student Exchange Office does not take direct responsibility for providing accommodation. A
private organization takes care of it on the basis of the application forms received (by the
Student Exchange Office of LUISS Guido Carli) by May 31.
The average cost is between € 350 for a place in a double room and € 500 for a single room a
month plus utilities (telephone, electricity, heating, gas). Ask your Coordinator for a copy of the
accommodation documents. Please read the booking conditions carefully, follow the instructions
and complete the application form.
INSURANCE
All guest students are highly required to have an insurance policy covering medical care and
third party liability. It is advisable for them to buy it in their country of origin because these
policies are very expensive in Italy. For students from countries which are members of the
European Union some medical costs are generally covered by their national health service (do
not forget to bring your European Health Insurance Card – EHIC!).
