European integration is closely related to possibilities and bareers to (intra-european and global) movement. On the one hand, the four freedoms of movement (of goods, services, persons, and capital) have formed the core principles of European integration since the first Treaties. On the other one, the structure and rules of the European Union play a paramount and ambiguous role for global mobility.

The seminar will describe, analyze and discuss the impact of European integration on freedom of movement throughout its history as well as discuss different conceptualizations of European integration.

Contents of the seminar:

• Concepts of European integration up to the mid 20th century
• The history of European integration from the European Community of Coal and Steel onwards:
• - A free trade zone as a means to prevent fascism and war
• - European integration and decolonialization
• - The USA and European integration
• - The enlargement rounds and their impact on the citizens
• - Democratization of the EU

• EU citizenship and its effects on EU-citizens and Third Country Citizens
• Selected policy fields of the EU

• - Common Foreign and Security Policy
• - Common Area of Freedom, Security, and Justice
• Deepened discussion of specific themes (mostly in spring semester, to be developed together with the students, e.g.:

• - Common Asylum System: Dublin Agreement, Pact on Migration and Asylum
• - Mobility in the Academic Sector: Bologna Procedure, Erasmus programs
