Center of European Cultural Studies: The "Western European Model" External lecturer Lars Hovbakke Sørensen Friday 13-16, building 451, room 317 During the period 1945-1990 the Western European societies had a lot of common traits, which at the same time distinguished them from most of the rest of the World. Despite all the differences between the Western European states, the democratic multi party systems and the social liberal welfare state combined with a high degree of industrialization and of technological development made the Western European societies different from both the Eastern and the Central part of Europe and from most other states outside the European continent. Furthermore the existence of a system of a large number of rather small states combined with an ongoing integration process is a unique feature of Western Europe. The purpose of this seminar is to examine the development of the "Western European Model" since 1945. Special attention will be paid to an analysis of similarities and differences among the European welfare state systems as well as between the political systems and the party systems. A central question in relation to these topics will be, whether it is appropriate to talk about the existence of various "regional models" or "sub-models" within the general "Western European Model". Is it e.g. relevant to talk about a "Scandinavian Model", a"Nordic Model" or "Continental European Model"? And what about Great Britain? Does a separate "British Model" exist, or might we talk about an "Anglo-Scandinavian Model? Finally also the role of the welfare state in relation to the European integration proces within OEEC/OECD, EC/EU etc. will be analysed. The ideas of the welfare state among EC's "founding fathers" as well as the development of EC/EU's welfare state policies will thus be examined. Exam papers can be written about many different issues within the general theme of the political, social and economic history of Western Europe since 1945. European Political Institutions: The European Union External lecturer Kristine Midtgaard Monday 13-16, building 451, room 325 The complexity of the European Union (EU) makes it one of the most fascinating international political institutions to study. The course will seek to equip students to interpret key aspects in relation to the EU: What is 'European integration', why is the EU there, and how did it get from Rome to Nice, and even beyond? How can the EU be conceptualized? Why is the EU engaged in certain political fields? What is the nature of the relationship between the supranational institutions, the member states, the 370 million citizens in the EU, and the rest of the world? Thus the purpose of the course is to provide students with a combination of theoretical tools and de facto insights into understanding the most unique political institutional phenomenon in contemporary Europe. Kristine Midtgaard has a degree in History and European Studies. She has taught courses on European integration at the Dept. of History. She is finishing her dissertation on Denmark’s relation to the UN 1949-1965. Department of Political Science: Spring Lectures yet to be announced. The Department of History: Den europæiske integrations historie 2. del, 1973-2001 Amanuencis Morten Rasmussen Dette udbud er en videreførelse af et udbud for første årgang fra efteråret 2001. Det vil dog være muligt for interesserede studerende at følge det i foråret. Vi vil beskæftige os med den europæiske integrationsproces fra 1973-2001. Forløbet vil indeholde de følgende tre elementer: For det første vil vi gennemgå og diskutere de eksisterende teorier om europæisk integration (både politologiske og historiske). For det andet vil perioden fra 1973-2001 blive gennemgået kronologisk. Og endelig vil vi sætte os ind i og diskutere en række centrale temaer i den europæiske integrationsproces. Især spørgsmålet om demokrati vil komme til at stå centralt her. Formålet med udbuddet er at etablere en forståelse for dynamikken bag den europæiske integrationsproces efter 1973 og at få et kendskab til de vigtigste teoretiske og empiriske problemstillinger indenfor dette felt.
