Faglig innhold

Who supports European integration, membership of the European Union or other forms of close cooperation among European Nations? Who opposes this? How and why do they do so? Which alternative visions for Europe beyond demands for ‘more Europe’ and ‘less Europe’ exist? This course analyses attitudes, preferences and behaviour of key societal actors on issues related to European integration and cooperation. We review public opinion, party politics, public discourse and social movements and investigate how societal actors such as individual citizens and political parties relate to the European Union. Furthermore, this course discusses key ‘episodes of contention’ in which European integration is at the forefront, for instance during referenda on membership and European Parliament elections.
