The course will provide students with insight into the transatlantic relationship with a focus on its divergences and discrepancies of perspectives on international affairs. Most recent events, where the EU and the US are forced to cooperate, will be analysed - these events will serve as case studies, which will demonstrate both the common ground and potential splits between the two actors. The secondary aim of the course is to help students grasp the dynamism of current affairs and be capable of commenting and writing of these event in a pertinent manner. |
