2009 Course Handbook

EUL202: The European Union

Within the history of the integration process and with a particular focus on the European Union (EU), students will evaluate the extent to which integration has changed the lives of citizens and relations between nation-states in Europe; critique EU policies and processes; analyse the EU's role as an international actor; and apply insights derived from integration theory. The lecture program for the unit will capitalise on the availability in Australia of many experts associated with the EU and its institutions, as well as providing more general contextual lectures on its history, functioning and place in the contemporary world. Tutorials will be focused on ensuring that students develop an adequate understanding of how the EU functions, its relationships with member nations, and the ways in which it is important to the rest of the world, including Australia.
