Examination topics
The key areas of assessment will include:
Knowledge of Theories: Students must demonstrate a good understanding of the theoretical frameworks that underpin EU foreign policy-making.
Understanding of Key Actors and Facts: A comprehensive knowledge of the main actors and institutions involved in EU foreign policy-making. Students should also be familiar with significant facts and developments that have shaped the EU's foreign policy.
Critical Analysis of Events and Policy Developments: Students are expected to critically analyze recent events and their impact on the EU's foreign policy. This includes evaluating policy developments and their implications for the EU in the global arena.
Writing a Short Scientific Text: The ability to write concisely and effectively is crucial. Students must demonstrate the capacity to produce a short scientific text (suitable for a Bachelor course) that is well-structured, clearly argued, and based on scientifically relevant sources.
Critical Discussion and Presentation Skills: Students should be able to critically discuss EU foreign policy topics in front of a small audience. This involves presenting arguments coherently, engaging with different viewpoints, and backing claims with evidence.
Use of Scientifically Relevant Sources: In both written and oral assessments, students must show the ability to identify, use and reference scientifically relevant sources appropriately.

The course will also explore theoretical developments that help explain these foreign policy shifts and the interplay between foreign policy and other policy realms, such as trade, migration, and the environment. Central to this course is also the identification and analysis of the main actors and institutions responsible for crafting the EU's foreign policy. We will explore the roles and interrelations of various EU bodies in steering foreign policy decisions, including the European Commission, the European Parliament, the European Council, the EEAS, and the EU member states. The course will also highlight how these actors interact with global partners and international organizations, shaping the EU's response to international crises and its approach to global diplomacy.
