Course Description

The European Union: Current Issues

Elaine Fultz
Tuesdays, 10:30 AM-12:00 PM
May 31-June 21 | Session 1
Online via Zoom

The European Union (EU) today faces unprecedented challenges to its unity and effectiveness, due to: Russia’s invasion of Ukraine; accelerating damage from global warming; and the emergence of authoritarian governments within. We will examine the EU’s response to these challenges, giving close attention to decision-making rules which give governments leverage to block unified action. We will ask, how do these rules impinge on the EU’s effectiveness? The course will also examine new public opinion surveys on Europeans’ perceptions of the EU and what they want it to become.
Maximum registrants: 500

Notes

Why when I’m registering do I join the Wait List?
Several of our courses are in high demand. In order to accommodate our members who are not tech-savvy and have trouble registering online, we created a registration system in which there is no advantage to registering early, no disadvantage to registering later.

When registering, you join the Wait List for each course. After the registration period is over, we run a lottery on the courses, and it randomly determines who is admitted to each course and who is not. You typically will receive notification regarding which courses you are admitted to, about two weeks before the start of the semester. If a course accepts 150 or more students, you are very likely to get into it.
