Inhoud

This course examines European integration from an economic perspective, with emphasis on both microeconomics and macroeconomics.

The course builds upon basic economic concepts and focuses in detail on the role and evolution that macro- and microeconomic structures and theories have played in providing the EU with its past and current market architecture. It also does so by examining a variety of key EU policies: competition, agricultural, regional, monetary and fiscal policy.

Finally, the course offers a thorough analysis of the Eurozone crisis by looking at the effects of the global recession on the fundamentals of the European economy. Various course topics will be illustrated with press releases on the latest news or interesting scientific articles.
