Annotation

The course European cooperation since 1919 is a 4EU+ joint course of Sorbonne Université, Université de Genève, and Charles University. It encompasses not only the history of the European Union and its forerunner since 1950 but also all forms of European cooperation with an element of institutional formalization from 1919, when the League of Nations and the International Labour Organisation, two international organizations with a large European operative basis, were founded. Beyond the European Union, it also includes organizations such as the Council of Europe, OEEC/OECD, NATO, the Comecon (the organization of economic cooperation of the Eastern bloc), and the OSCE (the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe created in 1975). It also includes analyses of the societal actors underpinning or opposing closer European integration, ranging from non-state actors such as transnational political party organizations, professional associations, and stable cartels among companies. Hence, the course touches on various sub-disciplines, including political, economic, social, cultural, legal, diplomatic, and military history.

The joint MA course combines six online sessions (each of 4 hours) and a final three-day seminar discussing the (examen) papers of the participating students taking place in Paris in April 2025.
