Description	This module seeks to provide students with a broad understanding of the effects of European integration on the member states of the European Union. Throughout the module, students will be able to explore the nature of Europeanization, how it impacts upon the government and governance of the EU as well as its member states. In term I we will discuss and analyse the theoretical concept and then apply it to the polities (central government) and politics (parliament, parties, election campaigns, media and citizens) of different member states (most notably: Germany, Britain, France). In term II we will apply Europeanization to a number of policy areas and thereby assess the EU’s impact on the member states’ foreign- security and defence-, counter-terrorism-, migration and other policies.
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the module students should be able to: Understand and analyse the concept of Europeanization: compare different definitions and assess the concept’s strengths and weaknesses; Analyse the role played by the member states in the process of EU policy-making; Apply Europeanization to member states’ polities, politics and policies; Understand why and how EU member states differ in their degree of Europeanization
