This course presents the impact of the European integration on the economic development of the EU member countries. The creation of the common market was the main goal of the European integration. The founders of the European Communities were convinced that a closer economic cooperation would not only create welfare for the European citizens but would also stop member countries from entering into a military conflict between each other. On the whole these goals were achieved, and joining the EU has become the major goal of the majority of the countries on the continent. But economic integration also turned out to have some negative consequences. Explaining the processes that led to the current economic crisis in the EU is the main goal of the course. By its end students should be able to understand the relationships between economic developments in different EU member countries and be capable of explaining the consequences of the major policy choices at the European level on the situation in the member countries affected. This course is taught at Freie Universitat Berlin (Germany) as part of the China Europe International Summer School (CEISS). CEISS is a collaboration between Fudan University (China), Utrecht University (Netherlands), Freie Universitat Berlin (Germany), University of Copenhagen and Edvance Education International (China), and offers summer courses that explore the world's main economic, social and political trends and the way they impact on the economies and societies of Europe and China.This course can be combined with the following CEISS courses:- China, the US, Europe and the Rise of Asia;- European Culture: Identities and Institutions;- Global Challenges - Sustainable Futures
