Program
Contents
The course, entitled: Constitutional history of the German world in the long nineteenth century, takes place at the headquarters of Trento and is divided into lectures during which it will be distributed, as needed, educational materials such as geographical maps, constitutional and / or legislative texts to aid in understanding and exemplifying the issues addressed.
It is not presupposed by the student any basic knowledge and / or skill (the use of technical-specialist concepts will be adequately introduced) but only the propensity to look at the history of the German states, in particular of Prussia and of the Austrian Empire, from the 'special' point of view of political and institutional history.
The contents of the course will be:
1. The main features of the Austrian and German absolute State until the foundation, by resolution of the Congress of Vienna, of the German Confederation and beyond (1800-1848).
2. The constitutionalization of the German-southern States in the Vormärz, and the main historical-political-constitutional problems that were on the political agenda before the belated transition to the constitutional state in both Austria and Germany in 1848.
3. The start of the constitutionalization process of Prussia and Austria in 1848.
4. The difficulties encountered by the process of constitutionalization, especially in Austria but also in Germany, during the 1950s.
5. The parliamentary-representative institutions introduced in Austria and Prussia through the new constitutional papers and their role within the overall political system, especially in relation to the Monarch and his Government.
6. Lines of affirmation and evolution of the modern parliamentary-representative system in Prussia / Germany and in the Austrian Empire until the First World War.

Evaluation criteria
Expected learning outcomes and educational goals
The course aims to bring the student closer to the political-constitutional history of the German world of the long nineteenth century (1800-1918). The central object of the course will be
1. the late and contrasted transition from the absolute state to the constitutional one in the 2 main states of the German Confederation (1815-1866), namely Austria and Prussia,
2. the introduction here for the first time of the modern parliamentary-representative institutions, that is at least partially freely elected.
At the end of the course the student will be able to:
1. to know in broad terms times and circumstances of the transition from the cetual / absolute, or anyway pre-constitutional state, to the constitutional one in the Austrian Empire and in Prussia / Germany,
2. to outline the period of introduction and the distinctive characteristics of the monarchical-constitutional form of government,
3. to frame the relationship established within the new form of monarchical-constitutional government between (monarchical) government on the one hand and parliament on the other,
4. to distinguish historically between a liberal state and one at least formally democratic, ie between different types and models of the modern state, as well as between two different forms of political government, ie between a at least formally constitutional monarchy and a solid parliamentary monarchy.
The course intends to bring the student closer to the political-constitutional history of the German world during the long nineteenth century, with particular attention to the late and contrasted transition process from the absolute regime to the constitutional one of the main states of the German Confederation (1815-1866), namely Austria and Prussia. At the end of the course the student will be able to: - know about the modalities, times and circumstances of the transition from the absolute (or cetual) regime to the constitutional regime, and to illustrate the new relationship established within the constitutional state between (monarchical) government and representative institutions.

Double degree
The University of Verona, through a network of agreements with foreign universities, offers international courses that enable students to gain a Double/Joint degree at the time of graduation. Indeed, students enrolled in a Double/Joint degree programme will be able to obtain both the degree of the University of Verona and the degree issued by the Partner University abroad - where they are expected to attend part of the programme -, in the time it normally takes to gain a common Master’s degree. The institutions concerned shall ensure that both degrees are recognised in the two countries.
Places on these programmes are limited, and admissions and any applicable grants are subject to applicants being selected in a specific Call for applications.
The latest Call for applications for Double/Joint Degrees at the University of Verona is available now!
