Optional course. This course addresses selected key topics of European environmental policy. It is divided into two parts. The first five lectures lay a broader ground to the following more specific case studies. While the first part of the course focuses on the history and current trends of EU policy-making at the Union's level, the remaining series of seven lectures deals with more specific issues defined either by particular environmental problems or by environmental policy-making in individual member states. Issues addressed in these case studies are directed to the final part of the course that critically analyses the impact of the EU on the development of Central European environmental policies.
