This is a non-credit bearing course but it can also be taken as a credit bearing course.
Discover the difference between our credit bearing and non-credit bearing courses.
On this European Union Polity short course we will explore the history of European integration, the theories used to explain the development of the European Communities/Union, the constitution and the actual operation of the EU's main institutions.
We will address some of the following questions, and others related, by reviewing a broad range of academic and other materials:
- Where does the idea of a united Europe come from in historical terms?
- What theories have political scientists devised in an effort to explain the development of European integration?
- What are the key features of the EU's main institutions? How do these institutions operate in practice?
This course is non-credit bearing, so carries no credit points.
