The students' work will include, most importantly: several practical exercises (researching high quality articles and books, assembling lists of references, summaries of relevant public events); to prepare and present, in various stages, a seminar paper regarding one or several EU policies, possibly in working groups.
Methods will include, inter alia, analysis of primary sources and secondary literature, and research via the internet.
