ACCR POEU 350 - The Euro Union:Political & Economic Strc

Institution:

Arcadia University

Subject:

Description:

The course is designed to give the student an historical, theoretical and cross-disciplinary understanding of the European Union and its activities. It is organized around a series of controversies regarding the European Union. The EU has become the world's largest market, with over 500 million people, and it is unique in world history in creating a form of government across 27 nation states without military conquest or force. It has become an economic, diplomatic and arguably a political actor at a superpower level, though militarily it remains less important. Students will have an appreciation of the key policies in place within the European Union as well as the major controversies surrounding these policies. This course will focus on the history, institutions and policies of the European Union from a multidisciplinary perspective. The emergence of the European Union is one the most significant political changes destined to shape the 21st century. It has already had an impact on legislation, transatlantic trade relations, agriculture, health and consumer protection, market consolidation and other aspects of life. The course will analize the roles and the competencies of the most important European institutions: the European Parliament and its various headquarters (Luxembourg, Strasbourg, Brussels).
