Course Description
The first part of the course gives a general introduction to the study of the European Union (EU) including the central theories applied in the field. Key questions include the following: What should the focus be in studying the European Union and how should significant developments be analyzed? How can the EU be theorized and analyzed as a political system, including its institutions and decision-making processes? The second part of the course deals with the current challenges and changes in the EU related to the Lisbon Treaty. How do these elements influence the structures and processes of the present EU? How can the effects of these be conceptualized theoretically? The third part of the course considers other challenges and changes within the EU: namely, specific policy areas (for example, agricultural policy); relations between the different institutions of the Union and between the institutions and the member states; processes of Europeanisation in individual member states. The first part of the course will give a general introduction to the study of the European Union including the central theories applied in the field. Key questions include the following: What should the focus be when we study the European Union and how should we analyse significant developments? How can we theorize and analyze the EU as a political system, including its institutions and decision-making processes?
