Why do countries join a supranation body? Topics covered include the tension between elite and mass attitudes on the issue of joining, the use of referendum as a general tool and as an enlargement component, the politics of rejection (Iceland, Norway and Switzerland) and the role of Germany and France as founders and arbiters, British exceptionalism: delayed entrance and Brexit. We will also consider the distinctiveness of the EU itself as an international organization. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
