2023/2024 Institutions of the EU (FiF.KPol/A-boPO-016/15) [Summer 2024]

According to an official website of the European Union, ‘[t]he European Union (EU) has an institutional framework aimed at promotion and defending its values, objectives and interests, the interests of its citizens and those of its Member States. This framework also contributes to ensuring the coherence, effectiveness and continuity of EU policies and actions.’ The course provides an introduction to the operation of this ‘institutional framework’ and provides the conceptual toolkit and skills needed to assess how the EU institutional framework animates broader questions on the nature, meaning and functioning of the EU, its impact and relevance at the intersection of multiple actors in domestic and international politics.
