By the end of the course students will know about: the historical conditions and context of European integration in the aftermath of the Second World War. The historical process of European integration since the late 1940s, with particular emphasis on the key critical junctures that have determined the way the European project has evolved ever after; the legal-political foundations of European Integration by considering the Treaties that have paved the way for the emerging European Union; key concepts and theories of European integration; key features of the internal market, as well as the role of ì EU as a global actor.
