(Fall 2011)

Krug Hall 7

Section Information for Fall 2011

Instructor: Prof. Megan Myers This course examines European integration in its historic context, particularly the political and economic project of European unity since the Second World War. The course will look both at evolving historic conceptualizations of the “idea of Europe,” integration as a response to the World Wars, the intensification of unification as a response to the Cold War, and the socioeconomic and political consequences of an increasingly integrated Europe. We will also examine the history of “Euro-skepticism” or opposition to integration--from Britain’s refusal to join the Euro, to debates about “European identity,” to concerns about the sustainability of the Euro. We will end the course by looking at the future of the Union in the face of the current economic downturn and the potential for expansion into Turkey.
