What our lecturers say

I want my students to leave this course understanding how deeply the EU's integration relies on law: how legal norms shape its institutions, its democratic processes, and the fundamental freedoms that define the EU.

We discuss how EU institutions respond to major contemporary policy challenges: a financial crisis, war, or the climate emergency. Why do they succeed or fail in forging a common EU response?

This is a course concerned with the impact of past transformations on current constellations: We explore how processes like decolonization, European Integration, and the Cold War changed European societies in the long 20th century.

Economic globalization makes the world a richer place, but it also creates winners and losers. This course combines leading economic theories with recent empirical evidence to shed light on these issues.
