Learning objectives

The course offers a critical reflection on the history of the European integration process from its origins to the present day, placing it in the broader context of the political, economic, and cultural evolution of post-1945 Europe. In this way, both the main historiographical interpretative lines and the different integration projects implemented by the actors involved will be examined. Particular attention will be devoted to the evolution of EU institutions, both in terms of their ecosystem and in their relationship with national institutions and with other international institutions. To this end, the course will integrate the text and the material essential for exam preparation, while offering ample space for participation and discussion in class. At the end of the course the student will have thus obtained a more dynamic but also more complex image of what the process of European integration has represented and continues to represent.

Prerequisites and basic notions

An adequate knowledge of the political history of Europe during the 20th century.

Program

The course will explore the political, institutional, and economic history of the European integration process, from its beginnings in the aftermath of World War II to the crises and transformations at the dawn of the new millennium. In the first part, the course will retrace the integration process chronologically, avoiding teleological interpretations and evaluating the choices made by member states based on current conditions. Special attention will be paid to the evolution of the institutional structures that European states have established for their collaboration. In the second part, class discussion of a series of essays (the list of which will be communicated at the beginning of the course) will focus on crucial moments and particularly significant figures in the integration process, as well as the evolution of historiographical interpretations. Active participation from students will be required during this phase, with individual presentations and group discussions. Finally, two external guests will participate in two lectures to discuss the current relevance of the integration process and its historical and archival legacy.

Didactic methods

Lectures will be complemented by seminars involving student participation, including presentations of essays included in the exam reading list and class discussions. At least two lectures in the final part of the course will feature guest speakers.

Learning assessment procedures

The exam will be oral and will consist of three questions on the program. For attending students who have actively participated in class reports and discussions, the questions will be limited to two.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE

Evaluation criteria

The mark will depend on the ability of synthesis, of diachronic comparison between the topics covered and on the ability of the students to make a compendium of what they have learned from the textbook and the essays.

Criteria for the composition of the final grade

The vote will be expressed out of thirty. The answer to each question will result in the awarding of a maximum of ten points.
