Course Objective

The main purpose of this course is to enhance student s capability to analyse the issues emerging during EU s political integration process. The basic dynamics occurring during the process of political integration contain serious discussions on the fields relevant to the sovereignty rights which states are ready and/or reluctant to give up. As the demands and objections of the states contain clues about to what extent the integration is possible to be performed, examining these issues has a great importance in understanding the projections of the EU.
