Offizielle Kursbeschreibung: The study of the European Union’s (EU) relations with the Middle East is of a particular interest mainly because it reflects what has been faced by the EU in gradually establishing the Union’s position in external relations and its foreign policy mechanism. The Middle East was on the agenda of the first meeting of the European Political Cooperation (EPC) and has remained there ever since. The Union’s behaviour vis-à-vis the conflicts in the Middle East and in the Mediterranean reflects to a large degree the conditions under which the EU developed its actorness. In light of this, the course serves as an analysis of the EU as an international actor, as well as an analysis, of the Union's relations to the Middle East. The course analyses the relationships between the EU, the Middle East from the early 1950s to the present day in three parts: the first part of the course discusses the EU as an international actor in the Middle East. The second part of the course analyses the developments in the European-Middle Eastern relations between 1950 and 1991. This part of the course focuses on relations between 1950 and 1969, EC/EU-Middle East relations between 1969 and 1991. The course then deals with the EU-Middle East/Mediterranean relations between 1991 and present day. The third part of the course reflects on some of the most central issues and challenges facing the EU and the Middle East today. The seminar will be held in English language only in cooperation with the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU), Israel.
