Course Description

The course aims at providing the students with a basic understanding of the essential institutional and substantive legal aspects of European and Latin American integration, cooperation and governance. Through a multidisciplinary and comparative study, the course addresses the historical-legal background of the creation of the European Union (EU) and Latin American integration and cooperation organisations (especially Mercosur, Pacific Alliance, Andean Community, etc.), their normative-institutional framework, legal sources and accession and exit processes, and fundamental principles governing relations. between national and supra-state legal systems. In the case of the European Union, some aspects of its substantive law are also analysed, such as the internal market, fundamental rights and the rule of law, European citizenship, foreign policy, among others.

Methodologically, the course proposes a multidisciplinary approach and a comparative perspective.Thus, with the aim of comprehensively understanding European and Latin American regional integration as a political-legal phenomenon, a predominantly legal-institutional emphasis is adopted, incorporating political, historical, economic and cultural perspectives.

On the other hand, the course proposes to study the existing regional integration processes in both regions (Europe and Latin America) from a comparative perspective, whether in terms of the analysis of the objectives of their creation, institutions, principles and common policies. In this sense, special importance will also be given to the EU-LAC bi-regional dialogue.

In order to implement this methodology, lectures will be accompanied by active learning methodologies, such as flipped classrooms, case or press analysis, discussion forums, visits to international organisations, public bodies, NGOs, etc.
