Comments
The undergraduate course “EU as a Global Actor” offers students a comprehensive exploration of the European Union's foreign policy, role and strategies in the global arena. Through a blend of historical and theoretical analysis, contemporary case studies and policy assessments, students will delve into the complex dynamics that shape the EU's external action. The course covers key themes such as functioning of the EU’s foreign policy decision-making bodies and representation abroad, EU diplomacy and trade negotiations, security cooperation, transatlantic relations and relations with the EU’s neighborhood and EU candidate states, equipping students with a nuanced understanding of how the EU navigates its interactions with other international actors. By critically examining the challenges and opportunities faced by the EU on the global stage, students will gain valuable insights into the intricacies of multilateral diplomacy and the evolving nature of Europe's position in the world. At the end, the course will conclude with a hands-on simulation of negotiations among EU member states in a Foreign Affairs Council meeting, allowing students to apply their knowledge and skills in a realistic crisis scenario. Through interactive discussions, topical readings and the immersive model of the EU’s foreign affairs decision-making body, students will gain a deeper grasp of EU’s role as a global actor and its implications for the broader geopolitical landscape. close
