TEACHING IS DIVIDED INTO TWO PARTS.

(A) GENERAL PART:
INTRODUCTION TO ECONOMIC HISTORY.
MODERN EUROPE AS AN INTEGRATED ECONOMIC SYSTEM.
EUROPEAN EXPANSION: NEW BALANCES AND GENERAL TRENDS IN THE XVI AND XVII CENTURIES.
CONTINUITIES AND DIVERGENCES IN ECONOMIC GROWTH IN THE 1700S.
EUROPEAN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN THE 1800S. FIRST AND SECOND INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION: INTERPRETATIONS AND DEBATE.
THE ITALIAN ECONOMY: FROM UNIFICATION TO TAKE-OFF; FASCISM AND THE "ENTREPRENEURIAL STATE."
THE 20TH CENTURY BETWEEN CRISIS AND PROSPERITY.
RECONSTRUCTION AFTER BRETTON WOODS.
EUROPEAN ECONOMIC INTEGRATION.
THE END OF THE GOLDEN AGE. DEINDUSTRIALIZATION AND GLOBALIZATION.

(B) SPECIAL PART:
ECONOMIC CYCLES, TERRITORIAL GAPS AND DEVELOPMENT POLICIES: THE MEZZOGIORNO FROM UNITY TO THE NEW INDUSTRIAL CHALLENGES

	Teaching Methods
	THE COURSE IS BASED ON 60 HOURS OF FRONTAL LESSONS THAT MAY INCLUDE SEMINAR ACTIVITIES AND DISCUSSIONS OF CASE STUDIES. THE FREQUENCY OF THE COURSE IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED.

	Verification of learning
	THE TEACHING PROVIDES FOR AN ORAL TEST, WHICH AIMS TO ASCERTAIN THE STUDENT'S ABILITY TO CRITICALLY AND DIACHRONICALLY ANALYZE THE MAIN SOCIO-ECONOMIC PHENOMENA UNDER STUDY, SETTING THEM IN THE DIFFERENT TERRITORIAL CONTEXTS AND STAGES OF WORLD ECONOMIC HISTORY. THE ORAL TEST, LASTING ABOUT 15-20 MINUTES, CONSISTS OF AN INTERVIEW AIMED AT ASCERTAINING THE LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE AND ABILITY TO UNDERSTAND ACHIEVED BY THE STUDENT, AS WELL AS VERIFYING THE ABILITY TO EXPOUND USING THE APPROPRIATE TERMINOLOGY AND THE ABILITY TO ORGANIZE THE EXPOSITION INDEPENDENTLY. THE EVALUATION WILL BE EXPRESSED IN THIRTIETHS. THE MINIMUM ASSESSMENT LEVEL (18) IS AWARDED WHEN THE STUDENT HAS FRAGMENTARY KNOWLEDGE OF THEORETICAL CONTENT AND SHOWS LIMITED ABILITY TO USE IT TO THE CONTEXT OF STUDY. THE HIGHEST LEVEL (30) IS AWARDED WHEN THE STUDENT DEMONSTRATES COMPLETE AND THOROUGH KNOWLEDGE OF THE METHODOLOGIES AND TOOLS AND HAS A REMARKABLE ABILITY TO USE THEM TO THE CONTEXT OF STUDY. HONORS IS AWARDED WHEN THE CANDIDATE DEMONSTRATES SIGNIFICANT MASTERY OF THE METHODOLOGIES AND TOOLS AND SHOWS REMARKABLE OWNERSHIP OF LANGUAGE AND ABILITY TO PROCESS THEM INDEPENDENTLY EVEN IN CONTEXTS OTHER THAN THOSE PROPOSED BY THE TEACHER. AN IN ITINERE, NON-COMPULSORY TEST OF 45/60 MINUTES DURATION WILL BE ORGANIZED. THE FINAL ASSESSMENT IS OBTAINED AS THE AVERAGE OF THE PARTIAL ASSESSMENTS.
