Comparative Politics of European Union Enlargement: This course examines the incentives and disincentives to join the EU in historical perspective, with a focus on how those incentives and disincentives changed across time and region, from the first members in the 1950s to the present and how enlargement has influenced EU politics and decisionmaking. 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): Not intended for students with Freshman class standing.

This course focuses on why states form, what kind of states form, and why states act the way they do. We will take on questions like: What is order? Who provides order, and why? Who enjoys its benefits? How does the conduct of the modern nation-state influence growth, efficiency, equality, and violence? To provide some answers, we will take an interdisciplinary tour through political economy, history, and philosophy. The dedicated student will leave the course with a better sense of how citizens interact with the state and vice versa." Restriction(s): Not intended for students with Freshman class standing.
