Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Course Description:
In this guided reading course, we will take a thorough look at EU institutions and actors, processes happening within and related to the EU as well as theories and concepts in order to carry out scientific analyses. We will also have a look at Austrian foreign as a member of the EU. After that we will focus on two specific policy areas: the EU’s foreign and digital policies.

Methods:
• Reading of academic literature as well as policy briefs and policy papers (using the ‘PQ4R’ technique)
• Presentations
• Discussions in different groups and formats

Goals:
After attending the course, carrying out all assignments conscientiously and participating in an active manner, students should be able to
• approach and read academic literature in a systematic and critical way
• describe and explain Austrian foreign policy
• describe and explain the workings of the EU’s institutions
• describe and explain the covered theories and concepts and
• use those for the analysis of current issues concerning e.g. EU policy-making or institutions
