Description
The European Union has proven itself to be the largest, most complex and most controversial “political and economic synthesis” of recent history. Why? What “historical evolution” gave birth to what we know today as the European Union, an initially economic cooperative scheme that brought to the region the longest uninterrupted “peace” in its recorded history? Which are the main governing “institutions” of the EU and how do they work? Which are the most important “integration policies” being pursuit? What will become of it? Looking from the perspective of a single member state, the case of Italy, what do you see? How has Italy shaped the EU process and how has the EU shaped the Italian process from a political, economic, and sociological point of view?
