| Course description | This course will offer advanced training on contending theoretical approaches to the study of European Integration. It will be team-taught by colleagues in Edinburgh Politics and Law (the Europa Institute), in roughly equal measure, and will comprehensively cover both the Law and Politics of the European Union, as well as their nexus.
The aims of the course are to:
- equip participants critically to evaluate leading theoretical and conceptual approaches to European integration;
- understand how different theoretical approaches lead to competing teleologies of the European project;
- understand how law and politics interact and affect one another in the European integration process;
- encourage participants to use the course to develop a theoretical approach for their MSc dissertation and possible PhD research; and
- challenge students to show they can work at an advanced level in a course that is intended to be demanding and exigent.
