Kommentar

The European integration process has been marked by great leaps forward and some major setbacks but after all the European Union (EU) has emerged as a key political actor that affects the daily lives of nearly 500 million people. The lecture fo-cuses on this ambiguous political system, its history and current state and it provides a thorough understanding of the EU by combining facts about the institution and theoretical debates. The aim of the lecture is to provide a basic understanding of the political and social impacts of the integration processes in Europe and the EU in particular, and to allow the students to combine this knowledge in their future anal-yses of the social aspects of European integration. The lecture is structured into four parts: The introductory part provides an overview of the history of the EU as well as a discussion of the major theoretical approaches to explain European integration. The following parts focus on Europe and EU as a political arena, as a public space and as a social space. We will discuss current social and political problems on the conti-nent, and the way it is lived by its elites and its citizens. Schließen
