Inhalt:
The purpose of this seminar is to familiarise students with the most import areas and aspects of European Union (EU) external relations and the EU as an actor in global politics. In the first part of the course, we will look at the big picture of EU external policy: the historical context, the institutional set-up, and ways to conceptualise the EU’s role in international relations. In Part II, we will concentrate on the most important policy areas of EU external relations: foreign policy, security and defence policy, trade policy, development policy, policy on Justice and Home Affairs (migration, organised crime and terrorism), as well as EU external environmental policy. Part III will focus on the geographical dimension and relations with important regions/countries (European Neighbourhood Policy and transatlantic relations). In the fourth part, we will deal with a number of important horizontal issues, such as transparency, legitimacy and democracy in the EU’s foreign policy, as well as the question whether the EU constitutes a “normative” power. Students should have already attended a course on European Integration or attained solid knowledge of the EU by other means (e.g. read one of the background readings below). The seminar will be taught in English.
