European studies

The study program analyzes the historical and economic facts through the kaleidoscopic perspective of colonialism and decolonization, underlining the importance that the latter covers for the understanding of current phenomena such as migration, decomposition of territories, inequality, terrorism. The course offers an in-depth overview of the topics dealt with - colonization, decolonization, globalization -, examining them from the point of view of economic history, implementing them with multiple references to current events, such as the inequality between states and regions and migration policies. The socio-economic changes of the territories are thus reconstructed which, as in a gigantic puzzle, compose the globe, highlighting the factors that have influenced the consolidation of the current world economic system and showing how, after the 2008 crisis, it is now necessary to create new rules and new institutions for the increasingly numerous excluded and shipwrecked by globalization. Specifically, the course will focus on addressing: - Methodological aspects. Economic systems: between economic history and economic theory; the world population. The origins of the capitalist economic system. The periodization of growth. - The evolution of economic development after the "decolonization" phase - Analysis of the main development models (Keynesian, neoclassical, structural) - The "Third World" or "peripheral" countries as a result of a process of centuries of European hegemony and their entry onto the international scene - - The era of the new economy and transition. From development aid to economic globalization; poverty, debt crisis, the role of cooperation; internal and international migration. Degrowth and new rules for the economy? pandemics in history - Part of the course will also be dedicated to the Italian economy and European integration from the second post-war period to today and its role within the globalized context.
