The aim of the course is to provide theoretical, empirical, and practical knowledge of EU policy-making in three chosen EU policies (environmental, energy, and agricultural). While the first third of the course is dedicated to the theoretical introduction, the second third elaborates on the empirical elements of policies, and the last section of the course is devoted to a simulation of policy-making in the Council of the EU. Topics of the oral presentation for students will be determined at the first class. |

Requirements 1. In-class activity 10 % The students will be required to read mandatory texts for each class, except for the introductory one. The articles will be developed and discussed during the classes; students are expected to be active. Students are allowed a maximum of two (un)certified absences. More absences might be suspected to additional requirements. 2. Oral presentation 20 % Students will deliver an individual 15-20 minutes oral presentation[1] on a given topics during the classes n°3-8. The student delivers a handout of one page including resources to Moodle by Friday 8 AM before the class. The oral presentation is classified by 20 points based on the followed evaluation criteria: factually correct (5 pts); key aspects of the topic captured (5 pts); a clear message supported by arguments (7 pts); formally OK (3 pts). Not delivering the handout by the indicated deadline is sanctioned with -1 point per each day, the same applies to exceeding max. time load for the presentation (every additional 2 minutes are sanctioned with -1 point). 3. Simulation activity 20 % Students are expected to prepare a position of a given EU MS (to be assigned) for the first simulation class (12.12.) and coalition position for the second simulation class (19.12.) and be active during the negotiations in classes (10%). Each student also delivers a reflection paper of 2-3 pages by January 31, 2024, to Moodle (10%). The reflection paper will discuss your personal experience with the simulation - did the simulation help you to better understand the EU policy-making process (the role of the Council of the EU, European Commission and/or of EU MS(s)? What did you learn about discussed policy? did the simulation help you in developing negotiation/presentation/argumentation skills? Not delivering the reflection paper by the indicated deadline is sanctioned with -1 point per each day of the delay. 4. Final essay 50 % This is a paper of 10 NS (18,000 characteristics including spaces +/-10%) in which a student discusses an element of a European policy (preferably of agricultural, environmental, or energy policy discussed in the class) in the context of the theoretical and empirical academic literature. The paper is due on January 12, 2024 (Midnight). Your essay has to be submitted to the Moodle system. Late submissions of one day are sanctioned with -1 point and each day of delay is sanctioned with -3 points for each day of delay. To pass the course, you have to get at least 50%, i.e., 25 points. The final essay will be evaluated based on the following rubric:
[1] The length of the oral presentation up to confirmed during the first class based on the number of registered students.
