European Union Policies 2104-M-D4POUE-DW

The history of European integration proves that states decided to conduct more or less advanced forms of cooperation. Classes focus on discussing the policies of today's EU. The aim of the course is to familiarize students with the assumptions of a given policy, methods of its implementation, and the effects of functioning. Many of the EU's policies not only concern the EU's internal affairs, but also have an external dimension, which is also the subject of classes. Classes are devoted to topics such as:

1.-2. Shaping EU policies in EU treaties
3. Common market and EY competition policy
4. Trade policy
5.-6. Agricultural policy
7.-8. Cohesion policy
9 Environmental policy
10. Energy and climate policy
11. Transport policy
12. Social policy
13. Employment policy
14. Education policy
