European History and Politics will provide you with an historical understanding of European integration and insight into the political development of key member-states of the European Union. The course deals with the two existing and interlinked realities of national and non-national government and politics in important European states such as France, Germany and Britain. We will cover the political history of these states, their institutional arrangements and some important social dynamics within the states. The course will compare and contrast the relationship between the EU and the different nation-states and, in historical terms, the development of a national position on the European Community.
