The cours attempts to study the European Union as an international actor.
The course attempts to unscramble the decision-making process in the field of foreign policy. The latter will be apprehended through a comprehensive approach. In order to reach this aim, the course will analyse the external policies of the European Union (CFSP/CSDP trade, cooperation policies,...). It also aims to analyse the relations of the EU with multilateral organisations (WTO), regional groups and third countries from the Americas, Africa and Asia. The course will also handle the relations between the EU and the emerging countries. I will also pay particular attention to the relations between the EU and Latin America.
The course will handle differents questions such as: Who are de decision-makers ? In what conditions are decisions made ? Are decisions always rational ? What is the relative weight of lobbying/external pressures ? Who controls the process ? What are the international consenquencies of the external policies?
The course will also analyze the nature of the actor that the EU represents through different theories. |
