Course Description IR 218 is an introductory course to the EU. It covers the EU’s essential features and evolving nature as a unique international organization. Beginning with core questions guiding EU studies, such as how to best define the EU and whether a common European identity exists, it looks at the EU’s historical evolution and offers an overview of European integration. Following an analysis of how the EU’s institutions work as well as how decision-making occurs at the EU level, it introduces various EU policies (ranging from internal policies over the single market, justice and home affairs to external policies such as foreign policy and the enlargement) as empirical reflections of European integration.
