Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the lectures is to understand the activities and role of the European Union in contemporary international system and comprehend the decision-making processes, which were established in the Union in order to pursue its international activities, including the necessary historical background. Seminars are not primarily aimed on the deepening of knowledge gained during the lectures, but they should primarily broaden and apply them on the actual Union's policy towards other regions of the world. Unlike in lectures, the seminars allow to concentrate also on the newest development around the world and the Union's reactions to them. The subject innovation has been supported by the project Support of Interdisciplinary studies and Study Programmes Innovations at Palacký University in Olomouc, CZ.1.07/2.2.00/28.0091.
