Short courses PhD
Governance and the Intergration of
European Societies
15 to 19 December
Workload: 2 ECTS
Faculty:
Dr Theo Papadopoulos, University of
Bath
Assessment: Based on participation and assignments
Content and objectives
The course has three key
aims: first, to critically introduce
the key concepts of governance,
policy and power;
second, to
critically introduce key theories of
European integration and its modes
of governance and meta-governance;
third, to explore the
distinction between governance as an
object of analysis and governance as
an analytical perspective in its own
right. More
specifically, we will explore
the following questions: What is
governance and how it can be studied?
What are the main theoretical
perspectives in understanding
European integration and how has the
governance of this process being
studied so far? What is the
direction and the key parameters of
change in governance forms in the
last 20 years, in the EU, its member
states and internationally? Finally,
how governance as an approach can
help us contextualize the analyses
of policies, polities, economies and
market societies more generally.
During the course
participants will engage with, and
reflect upon, the most recent
debates in theorising governance,
analysing European integration and,
more broadly, understanding
institutional continuity and change.
Participants will be actively
encouraged to draw upon their own
reading during the course, as well
as any relevant experiences, in
answering some or all of the
questions. Reference to the
literatures of comparative
historical institutionalism,
international political economy, as
well the methods of critical
political analysis, will also be
made throughout the course.
In this context, the course's
ultimate aim is to function as a
forum for reflection where the
analysis of European integration
will be brought together in dynamic
and exciting ways.
The course
consists of a series of lectures and
seminars. Lectures are very
interactive sessions built around
the presentation materials, all of
which will be made available to
participants. Seminars comprise time
for study-group activities, group
presentations and class discussions.
