While the European Union has long been considered a 'sui generis' (one of a kind) arrangement of multilevel governance, the evolution of its institutions, functions, spectrum of powers and membership call for studying the EU also as system of government. In this seminar, we examine the development, structures and functions of the European Union. The course aspires for theory-guided analysis of the institutions of the EU polity and processes of EU politics. In doing so, the goal is to strike a balance between capturing the specificity and complexity of the EU while also comprehending it better in comparative perspective. Topics include the dynamics of integration, features of the institutional system, the processes of European governance and decision-making, and the challenges of democratic legitimacy.
