The size of the EU in terms of both space and population, thepotential that is held by each of its Member States, as well as the various policies that are developed by the EUas an institution and its members at the regional and the international levels, give it a considerable leveragewhen it comes to dealing with international relations. At the same time, the EU gives the impression that itcould do much better. While some observers believe that it is natural for the EU to encounter difficulties indeveloping more capacities because of the divergences in points of view that prevail between its StateMembers, others regret that most of the EU’s policies qualify it as “a payer but not a player”.This course aims to explain the origins of the European Union, the way it included its Member States, howexternal policies have been shaped and in what direction they could take the EU in the coming years anddecades. Through debates and discussions, students will also develop their own appreciation of what theEuropean project envisions and what could allow it to achieve a better role.

I will indicate length ofcontent or estimated overall work times for most assignments, so you can budget your timeaccordingly. Also please be aware of the grading percentages, as a research project is worth morethan a homework assignment. You should check your “@slu.edu” email regularly during the week.Netiquette: As in any learning environment, certain behavioral codes are expected when you communicatewith both your peers and your instructors.

Other Information on Course Assignments & Activities: Mobile phones and laptops should not beused during in person class. I trust we will be able to have a mutually respectful classroomatmosphere by treating all classmates as equals. In deference for others, please do not eat duringclass. Due to current guidelines for social distancing and maximum room capacities, students areasked to wear face masks in/to class.Grading Rationale/System: Blackboard assignments: Participation Midterm exam: Visual research project: Research project paper: Final Exam:30%10%10%20%20%10%Blackboard assignments: 30% of your grade will come from Blackboard assignments, which willinclude a class participation component (in person or virtual). If you missed completing anassignment on time, I will permit certain catch-up criteria as indicated on Blackboard. You will need30 points on Blackboard assignments for a perfect grade on that section of the course. I will post atleast 1, and sometimes 2 assignments each week.Midterm Exam: Monday, March 8. In class and in person if circumstances permit, otherwise,remote online. The midterm and final exams must be completed on their respective dates. Noalternative dates will be scheduled except in the case of excused medical absences.Final Exam: Thursday, May 6, 3:30 to 6:30 p.m. In person if you are in Madrid and circumstancespermit, otherwise, remote online.Research projects: Each student will choose a research topic related to this course and approvedby the instructor. If you can’t decide on one, then look at the textbook and use that as your basis.You will upload your Visual Research Project as scheduled by the professor after the midterm exam& it is worth 20% of the course grade. You have 15 minutes to present in class, but I will grade youon whatever you upload to Blackboard, so make it as complete as possible. In other words, youpresent a summary in class that may be part of more extensive research, so your actual submissionto the professor should include your notes, bibliography and analysis. Visual Research Projects willinvolve a visual presentation to be uploaded to Blackboard for me and your classmates to see (suchas a Powerpoint or video recording of yourself.). A rubric can be found on Blackboard.Presentations uploaded late will be marked down by 10% a day.Afterwards, the visual research presentation should be transformed into a 6-8 page paper due bythe date listed, and worth 20% of your grade. Start with your visual presentation and look at thecomments I made to it on Blackboard. From there, turn your visual presentation into an essay. Inother words, this paper should meet 2 goals: 1) to make your visual presentation a formal essay,with citation of references and bibliography, and 2) answer or address some or all of the commentsmade to your visual presentation. If you turned in written documents with your visual presentation,you can use this chance to improve, shorten or lengthen, and transform your writtendocumentation into an essay, while addressing my comments as able. Papers are individual even ifyou did a group visual presentation. Late papers will be marked down by 10% a day.
