DIPLOMA IN FEDERALISM AND PROVINCIAL PUBLIC LAW
Argentine federalism has recently gained central importance, both in its political-institutional aspects and in its theoretical and conceptual aspects. The concepts of decentralization and local power have been redefined, with provinces and municipalities acquiring new roles, expectations and empowerment. In addition, new subjects and incident dynamics have been added (intrafederal law, declaration of the City of Buenos Aires as an autonomous city, formal and informal regionalization spaces), while tensions are verified with the vectors of unification of the system traditionally articulated in around the central state.
In this framework, the Diploma in Federalism and Provincial Public Law seeks to establish itself as a training space aimed at developing a conceptual and practical panorama of Argentine federalism, encompassing its deep connections with constitutional and political law, as well as the particularities that have redefined its profile generating innovations, debates and reconfigurations.
The diploma also proposes to analyze the link of the federal system with commitments regarding fundamental rights at the national and international level.
