MULTIPLE CRISIS IN THE EUROPEAN UNION Lecturer: dr. Krisztina Arató professor, Institute of Political Science (ELTE) E-mail: krisarato@ajk.elte.hu Course description The history books about the European Union are full of crises – empty chairs crisis in the mid-1960s, economic crisis and its European effects in the 1970s, the British budgetary crisis in the 1980s, and we could continue the list. However, in the recent years the EU shows parallel crises – conflict in the Ukraine that ruined the idea of Eastern partnership, crisis in the institutional setup, problems with legitimacy and public trust, problems with leadership and the obvious crises of the Euro, Brexit and migration. The course offers an overview of the current crisis areas on the basis of current social science literature and political analyses and aims to give an insight to both the reasons of the crises and potential ways out. Students are expected to have previous knowledge about the history and the institutional structure of the European Union. The course schedule includes two occasions where the subject will be defined on the basis of the interest of students. Course schedule Introduction Eurozone crisis – is it over? Euroscepticism and legitimacy crisis in the European Union Democracy deficit in the EU Values in the EU – is democracy in crisis in the Member States? Leadership crisis in the EU – the role of Germany Euroscepticism Disintegration?
