Descriptif

The course offers a theoretical and practical introduction to the European Union and its legal and political integration process, including its main institutions and main aspects of the EU decision-making process; and an historical overview of the European economic integration process (Single market, budget, economic governance and a common currency) and impact on business, including the latest developments (e.g. proposal for a Multi-annual financial framework 2028-2034). Strasbourg is a unique place to learn about the EU as it is where the first steps of the European integration took place and it is today the official location of the European Parliament.
The pedagogical objectives of this course are that students are able after this course to describe concisely and precisely what is the EU today and how are decisions made, in particular with an impact on the business environment; and that students become better acquainted with the European Union’s rationale and functioning and are able to evaluate its role and impact in solving some of today's most important European and international business challenges.
