This is a huge challenge for all the Member States and for the idea of a united Europe. In this course, the students will get the basic knowledge to understand the main legal issues of the European integration. They will study the history of the united Europe, the development of the political and legal cooperation, the structure of the European institutional system and the main policies of the European Union (especially Competition, Free movement, Agriculture and Fisheries, Environment, Human Rights).
