The European Union: Crisis and Recovery

This course looked at the recent history of the European Union through the lens of its response to multiple crises. Over the past decade the EU has seen the departure of one member state (Brexit), an economic and financial crisis, a sharp rise in migration, and a threat to democracy and the rule of law in some member states. In addition, it is now faced with the Covid-19 pandemic. This course examined how the EU has managed these crises and learned lessons as it enters a period of reflection.
