Area of freedom, security and justice
|
||
| This course follows the same philosophy as the Analysis of European Policies course, allowing students to understand the gradual creation of an area of freedom, security and justice in Europe and to better identify the ins and outs of this area. Encompassing the principles developed in the Analysis of European Policies course - in particular, the principles of the division of powers -, this course aims to examine the development of the gradual "communitisation" of the powers associated with the area of freedom, security and justice (especially since the Amsterdam Treaty). This analysis invites students to identify the processes explaining the transition from intergovernmental management to community management of matters related to this area (TREVI group, Schengen agreements, "Justice and Home Affairs" pillar, etc.) and their integration into the Lisbon Treaty under a specific title (Title V of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union). | ||

| First session: there are two parts to the assessment for this course. Firstly, continuous assessment. The students are assessed on their active participation in class, relating to the texts they are required to read and presentations of important decisions (see Espace de liberté, sécurité et justice. Les grandes décisions). The following criteria are applied to the assessment: 1) understanding the decisions and 2) applying the decisions to concrete cases. Secondly, an oral exam. During this exam, students are asked to apply decisions relating to the area of freedom, security and justice to a concrete case. There is no time to prepare for the question. The following criteria are applied to the assessment: 1) knowledge and understanding of the decisions relating to the area of freedom, security and justice and 2) applying these decisions to a concrete case. For the oral exam, students can refer to the compulsory texts and their personal notes. Second session: the assessment only consists of an oral exam, according to the abovementioned conditions. | ||
