Inhoud

This course aims to provide EuroMaster students (of all backgrounds and following both specializations) with a solid basis for pursuing their interest, be it in the economic aspects of European integration or in the political and social dimensions of the Union. The point of departure is that students need to acquire a solid enough basis in EU policy-making as to allow them to understand ANY development at the EU level. By the end of course, students should mainly:

  • understand the basic principles of EU policy-making
  • know how the legal and institutional framework of the Union evolved over time, from the founding Treaties to the Treaty of Lisbon
  • have a thorough understanding of how law is made, implemented and enforced at the EU level
  • be comfortable in using the most essential EU-relevant legal and policy concepts
  • be familiar with the policy areas discussed in class
  • be able to follow and understand debates on policy developments in the EU
Studiemateriaal
