Faglig innhold

To what extent does the European Union act on the world stage as a single actor? Is it an important power in shaping global politics? What are the driving principles, interests or ideals that structure its policy and behaviour? This course analyses the way in which the European Union influences world politics in the 21st century. Students will learn about the official foreign policy of the EU, the 'Common Foreign and Security Policy' (CSFP) as well as less formal and less coordinated ways in which Europe tries to shape world politics. We discuss, for example, recent crises such as the Ukraine crisis and the Arab Spring and how the EU did, or did not, respond to or act upon these events.

It is worth 70% of the final grade.In the event of a legitimate absence or a failed exam, students can apply to the Department of Historical Studies for re-sitting the examination the following semester. Students who have obtained a passing grade but wish to improve their grade have to register for class and sit the ordinary exam when the course is taught. Compulsory activities from a previous semester may be approved by the department. In order to obtain a pass grade in the course as a whole, both parts of the exam must be given as pass grade. Students who fail the exam must thus resit both parts of the exam.
