Course description and objectives:
This course is aimed at introducing MA students to the main debates about
European integration through an overview of the history and actuality of integration
and introduction to a range of integration theories. Students should get a good grasp
of the significance of those theories and policies for the analysis of European
integration, and their relevance in providing a perspective to evaluate current
problems of European governance.
Learning outcomes:
At the end of the course participants should be able to:
-
-
To discuss current problems of European governance.
To understand, summarise and discuss theoretical approaches to the analyses
of European integration and governance.
To evaluate these approaches with regards to the methodologies they employ
and their usefulness for the analysis of particular problems of European
integration and governance.
To analyse a particular problem of European integration or governance from
the perspective of one or a combination of these approaches.
Course format:
The course will be composed of two parts. The first one will entail lectures
given by the lecturer about EU integration theories and their application to current
problems in EU governance and afterwards the floor will be open for a possibly
vibrant discussion/debate on the presented topic and required reading. In the second
one, participants will give a 40 minute presentation on the basis of the assigned
session topic, assigned reading materials and any additional sources s/he or they may
wish to use and an illustrative theoretical or conceptual approach or framework fitting
the theme of the appropriate session. After this presentation, the follow will be once
1
again open for a class discussion and debate. During the discussion, students are
expected to actively contribute to the debate; the instructor’s role is primarily to
moderate and put the discussion in a broader context, helping the participants to tease
out the main themes of the readings. To facilitate this process, participants are asked
to prepare questions and some discussion points for the day’s discussion, based on the
reading. The students should prepare one question and one discussion point per article
assigned. Questions and stimulating interaction during the lectures will be positively
evaluated.
Assessment:
Participation to class discussion: (%20): Attendance and participation are of great
importance and will comprise 20 % of the grade. I will grade participation as follows:
attendance (but no participation) will receive a C+; good faith efforts at participation
will get you into the B/B+ range; valuable contributions will get you into the B+/A
range.
Seminar presentation (% 40): In the seminar presentation, you are required to give
an in-depth presentation of one of the course subjects. Consult with me about the
expectations for the presentation , which will go beyond the required reading. The
‘further reading' is an indication of useful literature. You should also prepare a short
(1-2 pages) handout for the presentation. Presentations will be assigned during Week
1.
A final research paper (% 40)
At the beginning of the semester, participants are required to formulate a research
question/puzzle about a current problem of European Integration and governance and
an analytical framework which aims at solving such question/puzzle by
problematizing the existing academic debate concerning European Integration. One or
a combination of theoretical approaches can be applied to the research paper which
should be 5,000-6000 words excluding the bibliography. An abstract and an outline of
the research paper should be submitted within the third week of the academic
semester and this assignment will constitute the 5% of the overall final grade for the
research paper.
Absences:
Students are expected to be actively present at all lectures and seminars. In case you
are unable to attend, you need to inform the lecturer via email prior to the meeting
you are going to miss. More than two excused absences or absences without a doctor's
confirmation will result in a ‘F’ for the attendance and participation grade.
Late Policy:
Assignments are to be handed in on the due date. Late submissions will translate into
the lowering of the grade by 1/3 for each two days of delay. Students are asked to
keep a copy of all work submitted for evaluation. As a rule, no extensions for exams
are granted. Being stressed about exams/papers for other classes does not count as a
reason to change the exam dates for this seminar. Nor do travel plans.

Plagiarism and academic dishonesty:
Plagiarism and various forms of academic dishonesty consist of misrepresentation by
deception or by other fraudulent means and will invariably result in serious
consequences, e.g. the grade of zero on an assignment, loss of credit with a notation
on the transcript, and/or suspension or expulsion from the university. In the presession students are advised on the issue but it is your responsibility to understand
what constitutes plagiarism and academic dishonesty. For information on their various
kinds please refer to: Academic Dishonesty and Plagiarism, CEU Policy Document
and the MA Handbook.
