Subject Description | This subject forms an introduction to the major issues confronting Europe today. There will be consideration of the problems related to issues of identity and nationalism in general, and as these relate to selected countries of Europe, as well as the threat of racism and neo-fascism. The subject further explores who abuses power in European countries through examples of corruption. Students will also investigate whether European citizenship is a myth or reality in the context of the European Union. Students who successfully complete this subject should be able to demonstrate a knowledge of migration in Europe, a problem exacerbated by the refugees from Eastern Europe to Western Europe, and have an enriched knowledge of the place of the study of identity in terms of how Europe is conceptualised, from both within Europe and beyond. |
