Description

The European Union has recently experienced an unprecedently large wave of enlargement, as in 2004 and 2008 12 countries became EU members. This move will certainly affect the future of the Union in ways that are yet to be discerned. The present course wants to illuminate the relationship between the traditional, "old" Europe and the new member states (e.g. Poland, Czech Republic, Romania), and the new opportunities but also challenges that mark the relations between the enlarged EU and its new neighbours (Russia, Ukraine, Turkey). Aspects of identity, culture, history and political processes will be examined in order to venture different answers to the question: How will the Europe of tomorrow look like?
