Section Description
This course will cover the political economic relations of Europe starting with the Maastricht Treaty that began the formal formation of the European Union and run up to the political and economic dynamics of Europe today. This process of European political and economic integration during a period of neoliberal globalization has affected the politics and economies of European states, and this course will enquire into those changes. We will deal with specific national economies and political systems, as well as the development of the EU structure, with its effects on states inside and outside of the EU. The changes brought by EU integration and the broader process of globalization will be analyzed with specific attention paid to the effects of these processes on individual member states, the European community taken as a whole, and its place in the global political economy. Specific issues the course will cover include the debates over EU integration and the path chose, the EU sovereign debt crisis, the EU ‘immigration crises’, the rise of populist parties across Europe, Brexit and other aspects of Euroscepticism, the role of the Euro, both globally and its impact on the economies and polities of member and non-member states, how the processes of globalization and trade have changed the economies of particular states, and the Ukraine war.
