The EU is a supranational global player with (more or less)
well defined strategic interests in international economy, sustainable
ecological development, foreign and security policy and development policies.
At the beginning of the 21st century, the international system has to face four
major challenges: 1. severest economic depression since 1945, 2. ecological
determination, 3. terrorism and further nuclear armament, 4. growing inequality
and injustice between the industrialized states and less developed societies.
We will analyse and discuss how Germany and the EU will
tackle these four problems. The students will get an overview of EU’s role in
world affairs and an introduction in European polity, politics, and policies.
Short lectures by professor, class presentation, group work.
Students will be supplied with hand-outs.
Oral presentation, oral participation in discussions.
