Inhalt:
This seminar will prepare students for participation in the Model European Union Mainz (MEUM). We will study and analyse the relevant EU institutions as well as EU decision-making and negotiation processes.
At the core of the course, participants will simulate EU decision-making in Model EU Mainz (MEUM). Normally, around 80 participants from all over Europe will come to Mainz for the simulation of the ordinary legislative procedure. Participants will slip into the roles of national ministers, members of the European Parliament (MEPs) and journalists. MEUM offers young Europeans the chance to get a first-hand insight into the complex workings of the EU’s political system and decision-making. Starting point for the debate will be two proposals for legislation drafted by the European Commission. Participants, in their roles as MEPs and national ministers, will deliver speeches, work on amendments to the proposal texts and organize majorities in order to adopt their suggestions for changes to the legislation while journalists will monitor and critically report on this political process.
Given that the length of the actual simulation, the number of (preparatory) seminar sessions will be rather limited.
