This course explores the creation of a new Europe and its impact on the policy autonomy of member states. It will examine theories of international politics and regional integration. It will also develop frameworks for the analysis of state-society relations. Empirically, it will explore briefly the history of European integration and developments in the international political economy that have constrained domestic policymaking. The second half of the course will target specific policy areas--monetary, industrial, and social -- to gauge the extent to which the implementation of the Single European Market will alter the capacity of domestic political forces to change policy agendas.
