Objectives
This course contains two main parts on two main subjects : the institutional part and the human rights. The first part wants to make clear how and by whom power and decisionmaking is exercised in Belgium. Therefore, all different levels of decisionmaking will be approached : the European level; the federal level and the "State" level (the level of regions and communities). Each chapter of this part will therefore be composed of three subtitels (see content)
The second part of the course deals with the vast subject of the human rights, which determine the limits of public power.
