POLS 309: West European Politics (GS)

Course Description

This course examines the large issues facing European countries today and how they impact not only Europe, but the entire world. Examples include the refugee crisis, the rise of the far-right, independence movements, and the European Union membership, in addition to others that may arise in this rapidly changing environment. We’ll use the U.K., France and Germany as core case studies, adding Sweden, Italy, or Belgium as necessary to illustrate important concepts.
