This course examines European business within the European Union (EU) and in the greater global context. Attention is paid to key institutions, policies and processes involved in the widening and deepening of the union and the implications of such for European businesses and for consumers. We will examine the external relations of the EU and look at recent developments including the Eurozone crisis, Ukraine and in particular Brexit. The interaction between policy-makers and businesses through lobbying will also be covered.
On the moodle page, in addition to the course materials, you will find links to various news sources related to European Business (FT, Economist, BBC etc.) and to articles posted on my Twitter feed (course-related articles are marked #MN3225).
