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.
