PS 441
Politics and Policies of the European Union
Section: 501

Course Description

The European Union constitutes the most prominent experiment in peaceful international cooperation in world history. We consider the historical background against which the EU was created and examine the evolution of the EU over time. We investigate the way in which the EU is organized (i.e. its institutional structure), as well as its policies, its political economy, its relationship with the member states, and its role in international politics. Finally, we explore various theories that seek to explain the integration process and outline different 'visions for Europe.'
