Cíle předmětu
The Course will aim to examine the possible interaction between national, regional and a European Union identity at the economic, political and socio-cultural levels. After the first part of the course, students will be able to outline and examine various theories and concepts identified as useful in analysing any future construction of an economic, political and social European Union identity. After the second part of the course, students will be able to assess the context of European Union ‘core values’ (democracy, the rule of law, peace and security, economic stability and prosperity, respect for human rights) and the existing ‘identity’ perspectives of EU citizens.
Students will be introduced to a range of theories and concepts identified as useful in analysing any future construction of an economic, political and social European Union identity. In the second part of the course they will then be encouraged to employ these concepts in assessing the opportunities, processes and possibilities for such a construction of a citizenship EU identity.
