Course Number:

Course Description:
The course provides an in-depth understanding of European Union law and public international law structured around a critical engagement with various transnational legal actors.
The first part of the course focuses on the European Union. We will study its legal development and structure from the perspective of transnational legal actors such as the Member States, the EU institutions, courts and 'private' parties in their capacity as economic actors or (non-)citizens. We will also critically reflect on the Union's self-understanding as a constitutional entity and discuss its role within the global sphere. By studying examples of how public and private actors attempt to mobilise European Union law to their advantage we provide an understanding of the Union as an arena for political, economic and social conflicts and adopt a novel method of studying the classic doctrines of EU law.
