Multilateral negotiations are complex interactions. This
course investigates social structure of mutilateral
negotiations in the context of the EU negotiations, and
offers theoretical frameworks to explain different angles
of multilateral negotiations. At empirical level the course
addresses the negotiations in the EU in three different
levels. First, the course analyzes negotiations between the
member states and the EU institutions and the
institutionalized Patterns of bargaining, second the course
addresses the negotiations between the major EU
institutions, namely, the Commission, the Council of the
EU and the European Parliament. Third, the course
addresses the negotiations patterns between the EU and
non-members, specifically through the enlargement
negotiations underway since 1997.
