CONTENT: Session Content Assignments SECTION I: The Road to a Single Economic Union Session 1 January 23 rd : The Political Economy of the EU: understanding the interplay between markets, institutions and societies Course introduction This session will serve as an introduction to the Political Economy of the EU. Being both an economic power and a political actor, external observers are frequently confused about Europe today, partly because of its permanent transformation and entrenched game of power between firms, societies, national constituencies and an emergent European polity. Basic methods and tools of the political economy literature will be presented in order to facilitate a global understanding these interactions - El-Agraa, Ali (ed.)

3 Session 2 January 25 th : Session 3 January 30 th : Session 4 February 1 st : Session 5 February 6 th : From a free-trade area to the common market: Europe s economic integration and the foundational treaties From a free-trade area to a fully-fledged common market, the EU has transited a long path. What does this transformation mean in concrete terms? This session will explore some theoretical concepts such as comparative advantages in factors endowments to explain the dynamics behind this evolution and the preconditions necessary to the emergence of economic regionalism. It will also draw on a large body of literature that distinguish the different types of regionalism (Schiff and Winters: 1998) and explain the interaction between markets and political institutions. This session will equally confront some IPE insights in order to explain the structural determinants behind market integration. -Case study 1: Modernizing the South? Spain accession to the European Economic Community explained -Case study 2: The role of Germany in the construction of the Common Market: A historical assessment from The Monetary Union in the EU: theory and praxis This session will provide a general historical overview of the evolution of the EU both in terms of positive and negative integration and the concrete impact it had on the emergence of a common monetary policy. It will explore the instruments devoted by European authorities to favor the convergence monetary policies, in terms of law harmonization, creation of incentives to achieve an optimal currency area. The Monetary Union in the EU: from consolidation to existential soul-searching. The 2008 financial crisis exacerbated the inconsistencies of the Eurozone in terms of real market integration and pointed out to the necessity of a better coordination of economic policies of participating members. An independent monetary policy and a coordinating Central Bank are not enough anymore to contain international markets pressures, but can the -Tsebelis, George and Geoffrey Garrett, The Institutional Foundations of Intergovernmentalism and Supranationalism in the European Union, International Organization, Volume 55, Number 2, Spring 2001, pp Mundell, Robert A.

Session 7 February 20 th : Session 8 February 22 nd : Session 9 February 27 th : SECTION II: An Efficient Market in the making: Industry, Trade and Competition Industrial Policies in the EU: From national champions to European Multinationals I. The European Realm exerts a major influence on national industrial decisions since the creation of the EEC in Significant changes have intervened since the ECSC was launched in 1948 and joint common industrial projects represent an important share of national industrial activities. The EEC and then the EU contributed to this evolution for 50 years combining positive and negative dimensions of both economic and legal integration. This session will explore the instruments devoted by European authorities to enforce the cohesion of markets and to harmonize endowments between countries (cohesion policies, joint- investment industrial ventures, etc.) Industrial Policies in the EU. From national champions to European Multinationals II Regulation has been one of the major governance instruments of the 1990s. It has resulted in the EU developing an extensive legal and institutional umbrella under which European firms operate today. This session will address the issue by comparing different industries and services, and students are expected to prepare prior to the session for a critical discussion in class on these two sectors.

Part of the explanation lies in the success of the common market to generate common market preferences among each national state. However other economic determinants, such as factor endowments (Rogowski) and increasing scale returns help us understand the reasons behind the capacity of the EU to lead successful negotiations at an international level, resulting into a myriad of bilateral and multi-lateral trade agreements. Part of the session will be devoted to explain the interaction between the EU and its major partners under the premises of WTO negotiations.

6 Session 14 March 15 th : Session 15 March 20 th : Session 16 March 22 nd : Session 17 March 27 th : The EU competition policy From Maastricht to the Lisbon initiative Competition is one of the major areas of today s capitalist societies. The EU has generated a very important body of regulations aimed at ensuring competition on national and international operations on the European soil. This session will explore the strategies behind internal market development (strategic goals) and the internal market firms operations, and will examine how the EU competition policy ensures that provisions on mergers and acquisitions, cartels, firms with dominant position are effectively enforced. Finally, this session will show how the Lisbon Strategy has reinforced this trend while paving the way for a "better regulation" -Case study 14: The BOEING/McDonnell Douglass Merger in Case study 15: Dealing with French PharmaGiants: the Servier case. SECTION III: Deepening the Union: Enlargement, Cohesion and Innovation The Economics of enlargement: A short history of communism and State-managed economies The trajectories of socialist-led countries of the Eastern block is a fundamental component of the Europe s economic history of the XXth century. The importance of State planning, administered supply and demand and cumulative inefficiencies created a unique model that was extremely influential and led a long-lasting imprint in Eastern European countries that would become EU accession countries. The Economics of enlargement II: becoming a market economy. Even though the EU has successfully become a Single market, member states pursue alternative forms of capitalist development. The mid-range theory of Varieties of Capitalism, accounts for those factors intervening in The EU expansion towards EEC countries represented an opportunity for EU countries in terms of investments and the emergence of a larger European market. This session will examine one major instrument of EU positive integration (the Stability Pact in 1993) -Wilks, Stephen (2005) "Competition Policy: Challenge and Reform" in Wallace, Helen a.o.
