Contenu
This course will study the institutions of the European Union under a dynamic and comparative angle. It will provide students with a thorough knowledge of what may seem as static concepts, but which in reality are the living constitutional structures of what is neither an international organization neither a State.
Students will learn to decipher the institutional provisions of the EU Treaties, the role and competences of each institution while understanding the interplays between them. We will examine in detail the structure, functioning and the everyday decisional process of each EU institution while studying interactions between the three constitutional branches mainly through analysis of the EU legislative procedure.
Parallels between the functioning of the EU, the United States of America and EU Member States will be drawn to better grasp the similarities and differences that form the specific legal characteristics of the EU in comparison to different forms of constitutional federalism.
Critical examination of generic media shared impressions of how the EU functions and its “democratic deficit” is going to be at the heart of this course’s analysis, furthermore improving participant’s capacities to think systematically/constitutionally about the EU Treaties and institutions enabling them to develop their own considered views.
Student active participation is expected and encouraged, by asking questions throughout the class, as well as interdisciplinary approaches and examples.
