DESCRIPTION
In the context of economic and political crises (euroscepticism, Brexit), is the European Union increasingly influenced by its states, particularly the most powerful ones? Has the "Community method," which has been the hallmark of the European model of regional integration, given way to operating methods that are more respectful of state sovereignty? Conversely, is the expansion of competencies transforming the Union into a quasi-federal organization? Although not a state, can the Union be a democracy and an international power? The objective of this course is to provide an analytical framework to answer these and other questions. It is not only about describing the European Union but also, and above all, about analyzing it, explaining its transformations, and grasping its main drivers, beyond the caricatured debates between integration supporters and sovereigntists, defenders and critics of neoliberalism.
