In European Integration I, we learned about the meaning of this term and how it came to existence and developed particularly since 1945. We focussed on the European Union, which we also introduced as it stands today, taking a closer look as well on its institutions.
In European Integration II this summer term, we will briefly summarise winter term's contents before diving into the work of the EU institutions, so you may be able to participate even if you have missed European Integration I.
The questions this course deals with are:
What do European institutions do? Who pulls the strings? How powerful are the Member States? Is it all politics or more of an administrative character? How are EU acts adopted - and what effects do these acts have? How does the Court of Justice work?
We will also take a look at some of the most important EU policy areas from which citizens benefit most: the fundamental freedoms but also competition policy.
And, with a view to the future, we'd like to discuss possible developments and reforms of the European Union with you and critically take a look at future EU enlargements.
For students of Saarland University this class will take place in presence on campus.
Students from UniGR- or Transform4Europe-partner-universities will have the possibility to join in hybrid format. |
