EUROPEAN INTEGRATION ECONOMY AND POLICY
(objectives)
The course of economics and policy of European integration aims to evaluate, on the basis of the knowledge of the mechanisms of the market economy, the justifications, the objectives, the criteria and the tools that have guided the long and difficult process of European integration. The course therefore aims to provide some tools that can help students to understand the role of the new European subject, both in influencing the national policies of member countries, as in expressing common policies.
Dublin Descriptors 1. KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING The course aims to provide basic theoretical and methodological knowledge in order to allow the student to understand independently on the basis of knowledge of the mechanisms of the market economy, the justifications, objectives, criteria and tools they have led the long and troubled process of European integration. This knowledge will be acquired mainly through lectures, the reading of targeted texts and participation in thematic in-depth seminars.
2. ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING The student must be able to apply the methodological and theoretical knowledge acquired, thus acquiring the ability: a) to evaluate the assumptions of the policies implemented at the European level and; b) to formulate, on the basis of the incentive structure offered by the market and policies, innovative projects in processes and products. These specific skills will be developed above all through the examination of strategic documents, statistical data and the debate in the classroom.
3. AUTONOMY OF JUDGMENT The autonomy of judgment will derive from the technical mastery of the tools, and from the understanding of the reasons that make different approaches bearer of different solutions in different contexts. This is built through lessons that encourage reasoned discussion with students and group work that stimulates discussion.
4. COMMUNICATION SKILLS The student should acquire the ability to expose and present the problems and topics covered by the course with mastery of language and adequate analytical skills. The exercises focused on critical reading and interpretation of official documents and statistical data will aim precisely at implementing this skill.
