Course contents :
|
| The Introduction to public law is built on two main axes.
On the one hand, it enables the students to learn - on an abstract perspective - the fundamental concepts of public law such as the State, the sovereignty, the power, the constitution, the government, the liberty or the equality. Through a number of texts written by some classic authors (Locke, Montesquieu, Constant, Carré de Malberg, Kelsen, Santi Romano,...), the students will be able to understand the principles which rule the bird of a state, its intern working and its relationships with other states. The previous reading of the original texts by the students will give them the chance to develop a personal opinion on course material which will be taught afterward.
On the other hand, the Introduction to public law draws up - in a more concrete perspective - the schematic portrait of the Belgian state's current institutions. We will focus on the outlines of the federal system, on the main organs of the state and on the relationships existing between one another. Considering the importance taken by the international aspect, we will also discuss the main European institutions and some other international organisations. |

Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| The addition of both of the here above described perspectives aims to inculcate the students with the faculty to understand the modern states main rules of working with the benefit of an historical and philosophical hindsight. The course aims to provide the students with the tools to better understand the political news and to develop a critical analysis while keeping up with them. |
