Course content:
This course covers selected topics of EU governance, that will be discussed based on a selection of research articles for each session. Therefore, the completion of the introductory course 113072 Politik der EU (Polity, Politics, Policies of the EU) is recommended, but not a must. The course comprises the following topics: case studies on the explaining power of major European integration theories, the power structure between European Commission, European Parliament and the Council, public opinion and the legitimacy of EU governance, the EU's performance in selected policy fields, in particular its influence as global actor.
Educational objective:
Students learn core aspects of governance arrangements within different policy areas within the EU’s multilevel system. Moreover, students develop the ability to identify important hurdles to EU decision-making as well as sources of implementations and enforcement problems. Finally, students can critically reflect on the problem-solving capacity of the EU’s multilevel system.
