Regions of the World: Europe

2 Credits.

This course explores the challenges to political stability in Europe, with a special focus on democratic backsliding in the region and the effects of European integration on individual member states. Through in-depth analysis of Europe’s social, cultural, and political contexts, students will gain a deeper understanding of the region’s complexities. The Regions of the World courses will enable you to develop a functional expertise in a particular region of the world, which will give you a deeper understanding of how risk and uncertainty in one issue area play out in a specific locale. Depending on the regional and functional area, some of this knowledge can then be integrated in your capstone project.
