This course is to survey the international relations of Western Europe since 1945. It will be divided into three sections. The first part deals with foreign policy of major European actors. The second part looks into the relations between West Europe and extra-regional states. The final section will examine some of the major policy issues in the international relations of Western Europe.
能力項目說明
This course aims to educate students to seize the particular dynamics and political issues within Western Europe, and also, its relations with other parts of the world. While Western Europe has undergone significant political transformation since the second World War, its singular course of integration amidst crises and collective community building provides rich subjects for political studies. By the end of the semester, the students are expected to understand the major players in Western Europe, the unique governance model of the European Union (EU), and the distinctive issues EU faces. Students are also expected to be able to analyze a given European issue with rightful approaches.
