Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Why did EU member-states gradually rescind control over their economic borders through tariffs, quotas, and regulatory trade-barriers, when they created the EU? Why did they open up the provision of formerly public services to private competition? How can we account for the paradox that the implementation of a liberal market regime went hand in hand with increasing regulatory activity at the EU level?This seminar examines how political science research has grappled with these and related questions. We will explore the EU’s role in the liberalization of trade and public services in Europe, the tensions between the creation of a European single market and social regulation at the member-state level, and the relation between privatization and the creation of new regulatory agencies. Theories of European integration will help us to understand the actors, forces and political conflicts behind liberalization and (re)regulation as well as their outcomes.The first four sessions of the course provide a short overview and introduction of the EU's main institutions and decision-making processes. The subsequent main part deals with the substantive issues surrounding market-regulating EU policy.
Assessment and permitted materials
Assignments:This is an interactive seminar that builds on student input.- One or a handfull of discussion questions will be assigned for each session. The students are required to read the assigned literature with this question in mind and to prepare their answers.- In each seminar session, several students will be picked at random and asked to present their answers as a discussion seed. This takes the form of an informal and very short "mini presentation", three to five minutes in duration. There will be no additional "long form" presentations.- Each student has to submit one term paper of 3000 words (+/- 5%, counting only the body). The paper examines a suitable research question (to be discussed with the lecturer) and develops a consistent argument. As a minimum, it discusses eight relevant articles, detailing how they inform the research question; half of the articles should be found through the student’s own research.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
Coursework assessment:- The paper counts 60%; constructive, knowledgeable, and prepared engagement in the discussion counts 40% towards the final grade.- Plagiarism, even of a short passage, leads to immediate failing of the course. This includes handing in of assignments that were previously submitted in a different coures. Seminar papers will be checked against plagiarism using an online tool ("Turnitin").- The term paper is due no later than three weeks after the last session, at midnight of the last day.
Examination topics
Depends on the specific research question of the seminar paper.
