In this unit students are introduced to the study of European Integration and its result, the European Union, through different disciplinary lenses. For example, the common European currency, the Euro, and the project of a Europe without boundaries (the Schengen area) are addressed not just in terms of history, economics and law but also in relation to their sociological implications for European identity and for member-states' sovereignty. This is a unique unit because lectures are delivered via video across five universities in Australia. -- Course Website
