The course offers a comprehensive overview of internal security policies of the European Union. The area of Justice and Home Affairs has been one of the most dynamically developing fields of EU competencies. Even though, this agenda has been legally part of the EU only since the Maastricht Treaty (1993), it has gradually expanded the role of the EU institutions and agencies to areas of immigration, asylum, protection of external borders, criminal justice, organised crime, radicalisation, and terrorism under broad heading of Lisbon Treaty’s “Area of Freedom, Security and Justice” (2009). The course provides its students with both factual knowledge about development and the current role of the EU in providing domestic or homeland security, as well as with analytical skills necessary to asses the European internal security system with all of its objectives, functions, instruments and decisive actors.
