The seminar is one of two core courses of this semester’s Viadrina Summer University (VSU). The aim of VSU consists in bringing together different disciplinary perspectives to the analysis of “Europe in the world”. One intention of the core courses is to substantiate the VSU’s other lectures and seminars which focus on the character of the European Union and its politics in a global context.Beyond this general goal, this specific core course focuses on the new role of the EU in global politics. It asks whether and in how far the EU’s foreign policy is giving expression to a civic political culture or whether it follows the path of more traditional power politics. We will analyse the EU’s policies, its political structures and different analytical concepts for describing its foreign policy performance.

 

Leistungsnachweis: Viadrina students participating in the VSU have to write a term paper on the MA level (in English or German). Credits: 9 ECTS (no other options available)
