European Politics

Catalog description

This class focuses on how European politics and the European Union evolved since the 1950s, on its present-day organization and functions, how the member countries interact with one another in making EU policies for jointly regulating their internal economies and societies as well as their external policies, and what options lie ahead for Europe's political leaders and citizens. While we cover the politics of Europe, we will also review many major theories and concepts from comparative politics and international relations.
