POLS2217 introduces students to the personalities, institutions and dynamics that have shaped European politics since 1945. Primary areas of study include the European Union (EU), domestic and foreign politics of major European powers (eg Britain, France, Germany and Russia) and the impact of specific challenges facing these countries (eg the fall of the Berlin Wall, the end of Communism, German re-unification, civil war in former Yugoslavia, the US-led war on terror) on the willingness of European states to cooperate. With its focus on cooperation in the EU, the course not only enhances the student's empirical knowledge of contemporary European politics, but also of theories seeking to explain why sovereign states cooperate.

Hardly a day goes by where 'Europe' doesn't make the news headlines. Journalists often use the term ‘Europe’ as shorthand for the European Union (EU), thereby forgetting that ‘Europe’ means different things to different people. For example, some European countries are clearly European (e.g. Norway, Switzerland), but are not a member-state of the EU. Conversely, some countries are part of the EU even though a large proportion of the population does not identify as ‘European’. (e.g. the United Kingdom until 2020).

The outcome of the 2016 Brexit referendum in the UK –which resulted in the UK’s decision to leave the EU— provides valuable food for thought for students and researchers interested in ‘Europe’ and/or the EU. For example, would peace in post-war Europe have lasted so long without the EU and its forerunners the ECSC and EEC? Have Europeans ended up taking peace for granted? Are we witnessing the gradual demise of the EU, and the revival of nationalist sentiments and authoritarian leadership? And has the Russia-Ukraine war weakened or strengthened transnational organizations like the EU and NATO?

The aim of this course is to gain a deeper understanding of current challenges facing Europe and the EU. More specifically, this course will first familiarize students with Europe’s rich social and political history (Part A), and subsequent introduce students to ‘EU studies’, a more specific field of studies that straddles International Relations, Peace and Conflict Studies, and Comparative Politics, and which seeks to explain, among other things, why sovereign nation-states decided to cooperate and establish the European Union (Part B).

Whereas part A (lectures 1-6) provides students with a deep understanding if the historical, social and political context in which the EU was established, part B (lectures 7-12) introduces students to the main EU studies perspectives (Neo-Functionalism, Liberal Intergovernmentalism, EU Governance, and Normative Debate about EU Citizenship and the EU’s Democratic Deficit). Students who complete this course successfully will not only acquire in-depth knowledge of Europe’s rich social and political history, but also essential institutional knowledge (e.g. EU institutions, EU policy domains, EU decision-making processes etc.).

The course will also explore the meanings and political implications of ‘Europe’ in global terms by drawing upon Indigenous perspectives. Students will be offered the opportunity to read sources on Europe and European influence written by Indigenous authors, to consider the imposition of European political forms on peoples around the globe, and to compare European transnationalism with Indigenous transnational movements.

Students completing the course should be able to answer the following kinds of questions in a theoretically informed way:

Example questions part A

- Why has conflict been rife in Europe for so many centuries?

- What was the role of ideas, ideologies and religion in fuelling/curbing conflict?

- Why do many Europeans continue to feel divided by language, culture and/or ethnicity?

- What have been the (positive and/or negative) impacts of European conquest?

-ᅠIs there evidence of transnational European (or EU) identity formation in Europe?

Example questions part B

- Why did sovereign nation-states decide to cooperate in post-World War II Europe?

- Why has EU integration been such a roller coaster ride, with many ups and downs?

-ᅠWhat kind of entity is the European Union?

- What are the main challenges facing the EU today?

-ᅠIs there evidence of transnational (EU) identity formation in Europe?

Course requirements

Assumed background

The course is suitable for anyone interested in European politics and/or European Union (EU) integration more specifically.

Although POLS2217 can be taken as a 'stand-alone' course, it can be regarded as an idealᅠ'companion'ᅠto the following Undergraduate courses:

  • POLS1201 (Introduction to International Relations)
  • POLS2211 (International Organisations and Political Cooperation)
  • POLS2509 (Ethnic Conflict and Nationalism)

Recommended prerequisites

Course staff

Timetable

The timetable for this course is available on the UQ Public Timetable.

Additional timetable information

Lectures: There will be 12 two-hour lectures starting in WEEK 1.

Tutorials: There will be 8 tutorials starting in WEEK 2.

Aims and outcomes

POLS2217 aims to increase the student's knowledge of European politics and EU integration since 1945, and to introduce the student to the various theoretical vantage points from which the European Union (EU) can be studied.

The course is also designed in such a way as to increase the students’ knowledge of international institutions and, in so doing, to increase the student's employability. This course is in particular suitable for students aspiring to a career in diplomacy or in international institutions, such as the OECD, EU or NATO, where a sound knowledge of European and EU politics will be indispensable.ᅠ

Finally, the course looks to increase the students’ ability to think critically, and to enhance the student's ability to find relevant literature, to review this literature, and to write a coherent and well-argued essay.

Learning outcomes

After successfully completing this course you should be able to:

LO1.

Understand the long term impact of key events in European and international politics, focusing on political, economic, cultural and security trends and cooperation evident since 1945;

LO2.

Appreciate the interchange of varying perspectives on the international relations of Europe by the application of the concepts of integration and institutional cooperation to specific contemporary and regional issues;

LO3.

Apply your knowledge and analysis of European political issues in both a verbal and a written context, as well as reflect the extent to which that knowledge is applicable to Australia's Asian and Pacific neighbourhoods;

LO4.

Understand and evaluate the unprecedented social experiment that the European Union represents, and be aware of the various political imaginations that are pertinent to alternative European futures. This appreciation will be useful for students who, in their professional environment, will be involved in helping navigate Australia's regional future;

LO5.

Own sharper interpersonal and communication skills, thanks to the interaction dynamics of lectures and tutorials, which will facilitate the acquisition of life problem-solving attributes that are much in demand in the professional world.

- Follows a clear structure, allowing for a coherent, step-by-step analysis

- Provides empirical- and/or research evidence (academic references) to back up claims/views

- Does justice to complexity and weighs different perspectives (no sweeping conclusions)

- Makes references to relevant academic literature (and not just regurgitate the text book)

- Concludes with a summary of the argument, findings, conclusions (and possible suggestions for future research)

- Ends with a reference section in which you listing the sources you have consulted

Additional assessment information

Word Length Penalty

Unless otherwise indicated, in the case of written submissions with a specified word count, you are given a +10% leeway on the upper word limit. If your written submission is over this leeway limit, it will attract a 10 percentage point penalty. For example, if your essay is 1,500 words, you may write up to 1,650 before attracting a word count penalty. If your essay exceeds the upper word limit, it will attract a 10% word count penalty. Therefore, if your essay is worth 40 marks, you will lose 4 marks from your allotted grade. Unless specified, penalties only apply to exceeding the word length, not for failure to write a sufficient amount.


Students should note:

• The Author-date in-text referencing system will count toward the word length;

• References in the Footnote referencing system will not count toward the word length. If you are using footnotes, any content included in footnotes beyond the specific text reference will count towards the word length.
