- The aim of the course is to present the history of the European Union (EU) between the end the of the Second World War and the decision of the UK to leave the EU (1945-2016). The course does not only give a general overview on the development of the EU, including its institutions and different policy areas, but prepares students to other EU-related courses to be completed in subsequent semesters. By the end of the semester, students will be able to identify the turning points of the history of European integration and assess their significance for the development of the EU. Students are also expected to have a good understanding on how the EU has been shaped by prominent leaders of the Member States as well as Commission presidents and other actors.
