European Union

Catalog description

The European Union is the largest democratically conceived confederation of sovereign states in human history, directly affecting a half a billion people. How did this come to pass, and how has it fared? We will examine earlier 19th and 20th century examples of union, analyze the nature and origins of the EU, and explore its mechanics and policies. Texts are historical, analytical, theoretical, and archival, including comprehensive web-based history and policy archives and a foundational myth.
