Faglig innhold
What is the economic logic behind progressive steps in European economic integration, from a free trade area to the internal market and monetary union? To what extent did EU member states economies converge or diverge over time? To what extent can the European sovereign debt crisis be attributed to flaws in the original construction of the Economic and Monetary Union? In short, what can a political economy perspective add to our understanding of the contemporary nature and challenges of European integration?
The course aims to introduce students to key aspects of the political economy of EU integration. It first examines, based on key economic concepts and theories, the political economy of European economic integration with a particular emphasis on its trade, monetary and growth dimensions as well as the degree of economic convergence that resulted from European integration. It then discusses the variety of capitalism existing in the EU on the example of France and Germany. It finally concludes with an examination of the euro-crisis, its origins, development and the increased differentiation in integration that it brought about.
