Faglig innhold

Who supports European integration, membership in the European Union, or other forms of close cooperation among European Nations? Who opposes this, and why do they do so? Which alternative visions for Europe exist beyond demands for more Europe and less Europe? This course analyses attitudes, preferences and behaviour of key societal actors on issues related to European integration and cooperation. We review public opinion, party politics, public discourse and social movements, and investigate how societal actors, such as individual citizens and political parties, relate to the European Union. We also examine how the issue of European integration is presented and debated in national parliaments and the media. This course discusses key episodes of contention in which European integration is at the forefront, for instance during referendums on membership and European Parliament elections. Additionally, this course looks at how we study contestation by challenging students to assess and evaluate empirical research on related topics.
