Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This seminar analyses the role of the EU in global context. It specifically outlines the EU’s influence in the world focusing on international authority, global order, and politicization. What role does the EU assume in the (liberal) international order? How does the EU shape the behaviour of public and private global players and states through the so-called “Brussels effect”? How do internal and external processes of politicization shape European action on the world’s stage?In three phases, we will identify and analyse the main manifestations and challenges of the EU’s authority and power in the context of global order.First, we will introduce and discuss central concepts, such as global governance, international authority, and political power. Second, we will discuss central manifestations of the EU’s power in the global context, focusing on digital governance and environmental protection/climate change. Third, we will zoom in on challenges to the liberal order focusing both on internal and external processes of politicization and contestation. The seminar explores diverse theoretical perspectives, combining insights on from European Studies with literature from International Relations.Learning OutcomesThe course aims to introduce students to central dimensions of the EU’s power in the global order. It further provides students with the conceptual tools and analytic skills to pursue their own projects regarding the EU and global governance.At the end of the course, students should be able to• identify and describe the main sources, manifestations, and challenges of the EU as an international authority;• summarize and critically assess the strengths and weakness of theoretical approaches that grasp the concept of European actorness, the position of the EU in global governance, and its relationship to global order;• apply the insights they gained from these approaches to empirical phenomena in global governance and identify potential political, legal, and social consequences.
Assessment and permitted materials
Students need no prior knowledge of academic debates on regulation or the EU as a global actor. A general interest in the topic, basic English language skills, and a broad familiarity with the European Union are sufficient.
Assignments must be handed in on time and respect the standards of good scientific practice. Guidelines by the university on the correct use of literature can be found here (unfortunately only in German): https://politikwissenschaft.univie.ac.at/fileadmin/user_upload/i_politikwissenschaft/SPL/Richtlinien_fuer_die_korrekte_Zitation-Stand_Jaenner_2020.pdf

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
Grading PolicyStudents are expected to participate actively and have prepared the required readings. The grade is based on (a) reading and class assignments (40%), (b) the preparation of a research outline and peer review (10%), and (c) the seminar paper (50%).
In detail, this comprises:• One short input presentation (max. 5 mins per person), including the development of a discussion question and discussion moderation (20%).o Presentations should engage with the text rather than summarize it. Stick to a very brief three-sentence summary of the main argument and then relate it to an empirical example or a contrasting argument not extensively discussed in the text. You may draw on additional literature from the further reading, juxtapose the argument to a reading from a different week, or refer to an empirical example, such as a policy proposal or newspaper article on recent events. You may also stage a pro/con debate. Please arrange with the other presenters for that week and send a brief presentation outline and your discussion question at least 1h before class.• One response paper (20%) for a session of your choosing (800 words). The response paper should, like the presentation, stick to a very brief three-sentence summary of the main argument of one of the week’s readings and then relate it to an empirical example or a contrasting argument not extensively discussed in the text. Should be uploaded by 6pm on the day before class.
• Research outline, short presentation of the envisioned research topic, and peer review (10%) for one session in June.• Seminar paper 3.000 words (50%) (joint papers are allowed, word limit 5.000 words (2 people), or 8.000 words for group papers (3 people)) – Deadline 31 August, 11.59pm, upload on Moodle. If you have problems with the upload, please send the paper via email immediately.Delivery of all partial assignments is mandatory for a positive grade. Late assignments without an extension will be subject to a deduction of points (1 per day on a 15-point scale).
