A tantárgy leírása

Course overview: The aim of the course is to introduce students into the theoretical background and development of the European politics and the EU, then a more detailed examination of the particular EU policies. In the first part of the course, we clarify the most important theoretical terms, like politics, nation state, democracy, power, international economic order, globalization and regionalization, international governmental and non-governmental organizations, etc., necessary for the understanding of the complex system of international political and economic order developed after WWII, in which the EU is embedded. Then we deal quite detailed with the historical background, foundation, development of the integration process and institutional set-up of the EU with a special attention to the recent changes, problems and challenges. In the last section students will have the opportunity to examine the most essential EU policy areas, like the finance and budget, agriculture &food, regional and local development, international economic relations, environment and energy, social policy & employment, culture and education.

Teaching method and grading: Lectures, in class student activity

60% - Midterm and final written in-class exam

40% - Other assignments (homework, class presentation, individual and team work, activity etc…)

Writing the mid and final term (based on the lecture, e-learning compulsory reading materials) exams is compulsory (min. 50% of the scores for successful final grading is a necessity). However, if writing one test is not successful or in other exceptional cases (e.g. justified medical care) there is a possibility to retake one of the two exams on the 15 ^th (re-take exam period) week. Each student will have a topic – related to the main topics in the class schedule – to prepare an oral, compulsory presentation (max. 15- 20 minute in ppt format) on it, in the pre-defined date and time. A 2 page Word format summary (with references) of it should be handled electronically by e-mail until 8. p.m. the day before of the presentation. (Delayed summary, but sent until the time of the presentation accepted with score deduction. However not sent at all, means not fulfilled this task, even presented in class!)
