Overview

What you'll study

The PhD program in Law and Social Change - The Challenges of Transnational Regulation at Roma Tre University considers applications from candidates that are willing to undertake a high-level research on any topic related to the several challenges that the law faces in the contemporary world – preferably, but not exclusively, with a view to the transnational dimension of such challenges and of the legal strategies that are necessary to face them.

The PhD program encourages ground-breaking research that places the legal culture, and the various processes of law-making and law application, at the crossroads between the municipal and the transnational dimensions of law – as well as between the public and the private, the substantive and the procedural, and the formal and the informal dimensions of law.
