Course Summary
The European Union (EU) is the most successful experiment in international cooperation in modern times, but its 490 million citizens (and non-Europeans) often see it as remote and unnecessarily complex. This is a result of the difficulty in classifying what the EU is. By combining features of a state with those of an intergovernmental organization, European integration has stretched our conceptual understanding of international relations and comparative politics. This course introduces the main conceptual approaches to understanding what the EU is, how it works, and why it works when similar attempts at high-level international cooperation have failed. It then explores the major challenges facing the EU with an eye towards Europe’s future.
