Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
Policy-making at the European Union (EU) level is complex given the institutional polyphony that characterises its multifaceted, multi-level decision-making processes.
The EU member states (MS) through the EU’s institutions (intergovernmental as well as supranational) play a crucial role in all EU policy-making. Specific policies (e.g. monetary policy) are decided in specialised institutions (e.g. European Central Bank) and non-states actors, interest groups and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) try also to shape policy-decision.
The Russian war in Ukraine and the geo-politicisation of international affairs are perceived as threats to the European integration process. By considering the current context and historical developments, one recognises that crises are nothing new to the European integration process: each period has had its own fair share of crises that ultimately have contributed to the flexibility/complexity of the Union we have today.
This course will engage with the above in terms of: a) the decision-making and institutional change; b) the EU’s institutional actors and the impact crises have on their functions/mandates; and c) the role of select MS.OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSE:
The aim of the course is twofold:
a) enable students to gain an understanding of the political context within which business is done in the EU (decision-making processes & actors involved in policy-making at the EU level);
b) advance students' critical/analytical ability to produce spoken and written assignments in accordance with good academic practices.LEARNING OUTCOMES:
• Recognising and understanding the role of the EU governance in determining the expectations and rules for the context within which business is done in the EU
• Detailed understanding of processes and actors involved in policy-making at the EU level
o Each class stresses specific issues thus, students will gain both introductory as well as in‐depth knowledge through readings offered & discussions held in class.
• Class is designed to develop students’ analytical/critical thinking (research work; essay writing) and presentation techniques. Hence, students will learn how to:
o Independently produce written analyses in accordance with good academic practices,
o Plan and present own research, and
o Critically analyse and think conceptually about the processes and actors involved in policy-making at the EU level by using reasoned/well-informed arguments.
• Strengthens students’ capacity for geographical mobility
