Course objectives
The course consists of two parts: 1) Social and Cultural Aspects of the Europeanization Process; 2) Policymaking in a European context. During this course, an attempt will be made to bridge the gap between theory and practice by giving students assignments to develop policies for an actual local policy problem. Working methods and requirements: The working methods of this course require active student participation. There will be much emphasis on interactive forms of teaching, discussions, and presentations by students. Fluency in English is imperative. Lectures are scheduled for the period May 2 - May 14, 2002.
