The course aims at introducing to the students various aspects of the European Security and Defence Policy (ESDP), established formally in 1999. It will cover four basic topics: institutional setup of the policy and its functioning (including the role played by EU member states); development of EU military capabilities (including the recent concept of battle-groups and its relevance); European security and military strategies and its possible amendments in the foreseeable future; and ESDP civilian, police and military operations and their political and geographical context. After completing the subject, students should be able to analyze in depth the processes of formulation and functioning of the European Security and Defence Policy, and to present ideas relevant for its future development. At practical level, students should improve their presentation, speaking and writing skills. Besides this, the whole seminar will require the students to get used to teamwork as one of the basic modes of cooperation. |

The basic intention of the course could be summed up as "light on lecturing, heavy on debate". The lecturer will only provide a brief introduction at the beginning of each lesson. He assumes (and indeed demands) that students read the required load of documents and literature before each of the lessons. This is a necessary precondition for successful presentations and fruitful participation in discussions. At the beginning of each of the lessons, students will submit their answers to questions concerning the required literature.
For the purposes of the seminar, students will be divided into working groups, each representing one of the following countries: Great Britain, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain. For each of the lessons, members of a working group will collectively prepare a short (5 minute) statement on a given topic, representing a view of "their" country. The statement will then be presented by a selected member (or members, regarding the number of students in the course) of the group at the lesson; speaker(s) of the group will then also participate in the subsequent debate among the representatives of the states. After the presentation of statements and the debate among the ?state representatives?, the remaining students will have an opportunity to make comments and present their own ideas and views.
To sum up, each of the lessons A to E will have the following structure:
At the end of the course, each student will write a position paper representing a view of "his" or "her" country regarding the desirable development of ESDP in the near future (5 years). Criteria for the assessment of essays will be following: reflection on the development of ESDP so far and incorporation of relevant facts and documents; logic of reasoning and the cohesiveness of the paper's structure; and, last but certainly not least, ability to present new, innovative and relevant ideas and proposals. |
