Description
Core Course
The course examines the forces which have led to Europe becoming increasingly integrated (not the least being the sheer devastation of two world wars) as well as the subsequent tensions and objections
to that process. We study the processes and structures of the specific institutions of the European Union and the Council of Europe as well as some of the major issues confronting the EU now. We will also look at some major European domestic concerns as well as divergent foreign policy issues between Europe and the US. The approach is multidisciplinary, embracing politics, economics, history, culture and religion.
