Economics of Economic Integration
 WHAT IS THIS COURSE ABOUT?
DURING THE LAST DECADES, THE CONTINUOUS PROCESS OF
ECONOMIC INTEGRATION HAS BEEN THE LOCOMOTIVE FOR
SHAPING THE FUTURE OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY ON ITS
STONY AND INTRICATE JOURNEY TO SURPASS THE RUINES OF
WW2 AND REACH THE OPEN BORDERS OF THE EUROPEAN
SINGLE MARKET. DRIVEN BY MILE-STONES SUCH AS MUTUAL
TRADE INTEGRATION IN GOODS AND SERVICES, FREE CAPITAL
FLOWS, LABOR MOBILITY AND A COMMON CURRENCY, THE
EUROPEAN UNION SINCE THEN IS SEEN AS A SYMBOL FOR
FREEDOM, SECURITY AND PROSPERITY. BUT RECENTLY DARK
CLOUDS HAVE RISEN OVER THE RING OF STARS THREATENING
THE COHESION AND SOLIDARITY OF OUR EUROPEAN COM-
MUNITY. ECONOMIC TURMOILS, THE RISE OF ANTI-EU PARTIES,
THE REFUGEE CRISIS, THE BREXIT VOTE & THE COVID-19 CRISIS
CALL FOR NEW SOLUTIONS TO THE THREATS & CHALLENGES
WHICH ARE STILL WAITING ON THE ROAD AHEAD TO (E)UTOPIA
