Course Content

This course is designed as a general introduction to the process of European integration and the politics of the European Union (EU). The course consists of three parts: Part One traces the history of European integration from the end of the WWII through 2002. To facilitate different interpretations of the EU in the making, part one also reviews the main academic debates about European integration and about the Union. Part Two looks at the institutional politics of the EU including a detailed analysis of the formal and informal aspects of EU governance. Part Three discusses the main policy areas ranging from agriculture to EMU. On the basis of the findings drawn from the theory and practice of European integration, the course address the relationship of the post-1995 enlargement with the challenge of deepening of the EU and seeks an answer to the question of what the future European integration may hold.
