Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives:

Understand the importance of the fundamental issues that characterise politics in contemporary Europe, and identify the central debates that mark political strife both within European countries and across them.
Develop the skills to critically analyse European politics in general and the political conflicts and tensions of contemporary Europe in particular.
Understand and assess the shifting relation between national politics and the project/reality of European integration.

Course Content:

In this course we will look at issues of central significance to Europe and the European Union. We will do so focusing on three interrelated perspectives. First, we will analyse a number of European countries paying special attention to fundamental political issues and debates that characterise the national life of contemporary Europe. Second, we will focus on the impact of the EU in relation to the Member States highlighting the degree of ‘Europeanisation’ of those fundamental issues. Third, we will examine the changing relation between national politics and European integration in a globalised world and the possible long-term impact this can have for the future of Europe.
