Instituto Universitario de Investigación en Estudios Norteamericanos "Benjamin Franklin" Home

The aim of this course is for students to understand the origins and current role of the European Union. With this purpose in mind, we will study its creation, present reality, goals, structure, institutional organization, and political principles. Students will also see to what extent Spain is affected by these factors, and Spain's role in the EU. In addition, the legal, economic, social, and political changes which Spain has undergone since the transition to democracy and its membership in the EU are studied in the course. We will also consider the challenges that Spain faces at both national and international levels for the future.
