Programme

The course introduces the main themes of constitutionalism in light of the challenges posed by technological development. After a historical overview of the values of European constitutionalism(s) and of how technological development has called them into question, the course examines the European and transatlantic approaches to regulating the digital sphere. It then turns to specific issues, ranging from the regulation of digital platforms to freedom of expression.
