Learning outcomes:
The European Union is one of the top players in the international economy in terms of economic strength, production, export and import volumes and population. European countries are transferring more and more competences to the EU in many important policy areas, from jurisdiction and economic policy to consumer and environmental protection. But how does the EU work? How do regulations come about and how are they implemented? What can the EU institutions do about national governments and their interests? These are only a few of the questions that this interactive workshop will provide an answer to. In it, htw students will work together with students from our partner university Westminster College in Salt Lake City/Utah, USA.
After successfully completing this module, students will be able to:
_        understand the process from the foundation of the EU to the present day, reflect on the importance of the EU for the national governments of Europe and understand the work of central European institutions.
_        understand and reflect on the EU´s position on selected topics such as the financial crisis, external and economic relations, energy and climate policy, legal issues and the difficulty of joint decision-making.
_        understand the cultural diversity of Europe.
_        work in mixed groups with American students.
