The course is designed to introduce students to the process of European integration that has transformed post-1945 Europe and seen the EU emerge as an influential global player. The course is inter-disciplinary in approach and focused on policy analysis. The course is offered as either a 200 or 300 level EURA paper and a 300 level GEOG paper. The teaching format at the 300 level combines formal lecturing with seminars. An emphasis is placed on discussion at the third year level and students are required to present a seminar as part of their assessment. At the 200 level participation is expected – including through online discussion – but no seminar presentation is required.The overall structure of the course will be discussed during the first week of class and revisions/additions may be possible at that time if specific issues or topics are not already covered in the outline. The first half of the course is lecture-based and covers the development, institutions, policies and idea of integration. The second half is taught on a seminar basis and focuses on specific policy areas and contemporary issues.
EURO210 will be a capstone for the Major and provide the knowledge-base for post graduate study. The course will provide an opportunity to experience research skill acquisition and involve original individual investigation of the policy and institutional complexities of the European integration process. For those students who may not major in EU Studies these courses on both 200 level and 300 level will offer a comprehensive, if introductory overview of the EU.EURO210 will provide a truly interdisciplinary and high quality academic insight into European integration by examining the ways in which the EU designs and implements policy. This insight is unique by focusing on the concept of European integration and investigates issues from an ‘integrated Europe’ (rather than simply a nation state) perspective. EURO210 will facilitate critical thinking and open constructive discussions. Research assignments will allow the students to tailor the course to their area of interest and to practice their research and investigation skills.
