Students will begin by examining how Europe emerged from the rages of World War II to become the Europe we know today. Students will then analyse current challenges to the EU including Brexit, the refugee crisis and the EU’s democratic deficit. In conclusion, students will consider where the EU will end up in the future. Is this unique political entity destined to develop into a United States of Europe, capable of competing with the U.S. and China on the world stage? Or is it more likely to disintegrate into bitter national rivalries and international irrelevance? ※この講座はすべて英語で行われます。（受講のための英語力はTOEFL79-80点以上、TOEIC730点以上が目安）
