Aim of the course

Last update: prof. JUDr. PhDr. Ivo Šlosarčík, Ph.D., LL.M. (22.09.2019)

The course aims at introducing and presenting post-Lisbon EU institutional mechanisms and decision-making procedures in all relevant matters and at all political levels. It will not be a simple description of the EU institutions (it is assumed such knowledge is acquired during the undergraduate courses). The course will instead opt for horizontal approach in order to learn about the changing role of the EU institutions in each policy area from the initial phase of a proposal until its implementation. For this purpose several case studies will be presented.
