Course content
It is expected that students already have basic knowledge about the EU, its history, institutions, etc. The course addresses core regional and rural dimensions of the European Union and the relationship between The EU and Norway (e.g. agricultural and food policy; rural development; regional and cohesion policies; fishery policy; energy and climate policy, trade policy). The course will approach these issues with a political economy framework. This implies that we study how political and institutional processes frame economic activity and vice versa, and that we highlight the multi-level character of EU politics and policies.
