Course Content
Since the end of WWII. Europe has significantly changed. With the disintegration of European colonial empires and the massis e demand for workers for its economic reconstruction, post-war mi o ration turned the Old Continent into multiracial, multi-ethnic and multi-religious societies. The course is meant to offer a critical perspective to the role and meaning of this new Europe within a global context. It identifies and analyses the key areas in which Europe is becoming an increasingly important actor, and develops a critical outlook in terms of the increasing complexity of issues arising in Europe and elsewhere. All in all, a re-thinking of Europe's role and borders in a globalized world is called for.
