GLOBAL EU AT THE UNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY

ended

This project will develop and deliver an undergraduate level unit of study titled: Europe in World Affairs available to all students enrolled in Bachelor of Arts (Politics and International Relations) program at the Department of Government and International Relations, as well as to all Bachelor of Arts students as an elective unit of study at the University of Sydney. This unit will assess the international significance of European integration, the impact of global developments on Europe, and the changing role of Europe in the new world order. After examining the key institutions and processes that surround the EU's international relations, the unit will focus on the most pressing policy areas such as security, trade, climate change, and relations with major and emerging powers. The innovative components will include partnerships with the Delegation of the EU to Australia, as well as with relevant government, private sector and civil society leaders in order to bridge the gap between academia and practice. Along with the undergraduate unit, the project will deliver research publications and public outreach events on the subject of global EU in Australian context.
