IN PERSON: Have you ever wondered how the European Union began? This course will explore the creation and evolution of the EU from its origins in 1945 to its current structure. It examines the reasons behind the formation of the EU, initially as a trade union, and its transformation into a political and economic union. We will cover the key developments in post-WWII Europe and debates surrounding the various changes – some very dramatic - in how European countries interact and support one another. Students will gain insights into the challenges and shifts in EU integration throughout the 20th and 21st centuries. Class sessions will be lecture-based, with opportunity for engaging discussion. | Lecture + Q&A, Facilitated discussion.
