Course objectives
The course aims to present the past 70 years of European integration, as well as its current problems and future, as sources of interesting research questions for both economists and political scientists. It provides students with analytical tools through which they will be able to independently reflect on current issues of European integration. Critical and informed thinking about the EU is particularly important for citizens involved in public policy, especially at a time when European issues are subject to ideologically motivated simplifications on both sides.
