The aim of this course is to provide awareness of the
political, social, economic and institutional processes in
the EU and an opportunity to examine in detail the current
major issues in the EU. Papers will be addressed by guest
speakers from different EU member and candidate countries.
This course consists of two sections: First section focuses
on the European Union. Topics covered in the lectures
include issues related with the history and theories of
European integration, EU institutions, enlargement, European
Monetary Union, foreign and defence policy, justice and home
affairs, the policy process and output of the EU, and the
future of the Union. The second section focuses on the
impact of European integration on domestic policies of
member and candidate countries and the resulting
"Europeanisation" therein.
