The Lisbon Treaty was meant to represent the end of an era for the EU, a consolidation of a number of grand projects: EMU, institutional reform to absorb the largest enlargement in EU’s history and the democratization of the EU itself through an increase of the powers of the European Parliament and national parliaments. Instead of consolidating these achievements the post Lisbon period has been marked by a struggle between the institutions for their new place in the power balance of the EU, by a destabilization of EMU and mutual obstruction effects between national democratic processes and economic interdependence. This Honours class will discuss these challenges and how the EU might emerge from them.
                  

Het programma van deze Honours Class bestaat uit 8 bijeenkomsten welke plaatsvinden bij Campus Den Haag. De voertaal in deze class is Engels, er is plaats voor maximaal 12 deelnemers.
