The EU has emerged as a regional powerhouse in global terms and a distinctive transnational federal and supranational regional entity. The unit is designed to introduce students to the process of European integration that has transformed post-1945 Europe. It draws on an inter-disciplinary approach and is focused on exploring the foundational treaties, key institutions and governance systems of the union, with an emphasis on contemporary policy development and the EU today; including enlargement, social and environmental policy and the EU as a global actor. -- Course Website
