    3.00 Credits
    Molloy University

    (also POL 234) The European Union, the present day successor to the 'Common Market' established in Western Europe during the 1950s, is a forum in which institutions and member states negotiate in diverse areas such as monetary policy, foreign affairs and police cooperation. We explore the historic origins of European construction, the Union's successive enlargements to nine, ten, twelve, fifteen, and twenty-five member states from 1973 to 2004, challenges to the integration process and the implications for transatlantic relations. Discussion includes the debate about the European Constitutional Treaty regarding domestic politics of key states like France and the Netherlands; how the post-September 11 context and war in Iraq impact the traditional Euro-Atlantic area; and the potential for nuclear arms proliferation in Iran, including the US reaction and the EU3 diplomacy to influence this evolution. We rely on our understanding of integration to identify some of the difficulties confronted by what is defined historically as the transatlantic "security community." 3 credits
