| Content | Important: This is a flipped classroom course with elements of blended learning! (See below, "Bemerkungen"). The course provides an introduction into the basics of European Union law, including notably: 1) The origins of the European Union; 2) Its consitutional principles; 3) The special nature of European Union law as compared to more traditional public international law; 4) The particular role of the European Court of Justice for the legal system of the European Union; 5) The European Union's internal market and competition law. The course will also touch on recent or on-going developments, such as Brexit. |
| Learning objectives | Students understand the basics of European Union law. Students are able to place news items related to the European Union in the framework of what they learn in the course and to reflect critically on them. |
| Bibliography | Christa Tobler/Jacques Beglinger, Essential EU Law in Charts and Text, 2 volumes, 4th edition, Budapest: HVG-Orac 2018 (www.eur-charts.eu). Note: in most class meetings, we will work actively with the charts in class. A certain number of these books will be made available to the students in the "Semesterapparat" in the library of the Europainstitut/Institute for European Global Studies but it may be easier to have a private copy. The book can be ordered online, directly from the publisher (http://hvgorac.eu/essential-eu-law-in-charts/, choose “combo version”). A limited number of copies are also available from your professor (send an e-mail message if you wish to buy the book in this manner). |
| Comments | Important: This is a flipped classroom course with elements of blended learning! After an introduction, students learn themselves with the help of the text books (Tobler/Beglinger, Essential EU Law in Charts and Text, 2 volumes - see under "Literatur"). Students meet regularly with the assistant to the course to discuss questions they may have on the topic and to do exercises. At crucial points in the course, meetings will be held with the professor. It is planned that both the assistant and the professor are available for online discussions on the subject-matter throughout the course. |
