Μ. Meng-Papantoni, V. Hatzopoulos
The Course takes place every Monday from 09.00 to 12.00 at Room 314 (Glass Building, 2d floor). The Courses TEAMS link is here .
I. Brief Description
The course aims at revisiting various areas of EU law and policy, both from a legal and from a political/governance perspective. It discusses a wide range of topics, in a way that students are sure to find areas directly falling within their interests. It supposes that students are familiar with the core values, principles and mechanisms of the EU (from the prism of law or politics) and intends to offer an alternative narrative, focused on the various governance mechanisms at work at the EU.
Hence, the course starts by discussing the EU Constitutional and Institutional constellation, the relationships between the EU and its Member States as well as sources of EU law. It then moves on to issues of substantive law and policies, such as the Internal Market focusing in particular on the free movement of services and digitization, the judicial cooperation in civil and criminal matters, EU company law and environmental EU policy and law, etc.
Students are expected to obtain a good command of the Institutional issues and developments of EU Law as well as of selected areas of substantive law and policies. The common thread and the core learning outcome of the course is that students come to realize the diversity and complexity of decision making and of policy implementation at the EU level, which comprises international treaties, acts of binding secondary law, non-binding soft law instruments, self-regulation, the use of standards, the development of agencies and networks, political processes such as the Open Method of Coordination, simple political declarations and many more.
The course, primarily conceived for Erasmus students, is also open to regular Greek students; experience shows that the contact between the two is enjoyfull and mutually beneficial.
