- To locate current research on the EU.
- To relate these studies to theoretical approaches.
|
| Introduction |
A wide range of academic research investigates the EU, often building upon the approaches discussed in chapter 2. In this exercise, we invite you to have a look at current research. This enables you to identify the most relevant questions studied today and to relate them to the theories covered in the chapter. |
| Steps |
- Go to the list of journals on EU politics on the Navigating the EU website, and choose one journal.
- Go to the homepage of the journal and select the most recent issue. See if you can find articles dealing with the EU.
- By clicking on the article title, you will be able to read the abstract. (The abstract is a short summary of the article that you can always read for free – you do not have to read the full article for this exercise.) Copy and paste the abstract to a new document.
- Repeat this for two other journals.
|
| Questions |
- Read the abstracts and try to figure out which approaches mentioned in chapter 2 is used to analyze the EU and provide an argument for your choice. Try to be as specific as possible, by pinpointing a specific branch of either theories of integration or theories of EU politics.
- If you have difficulty figuring out the approach, make it clear why it is difficult. Is it a matter of not being able to choose between two different approaches, or do you feel that the approach is not covered in the book? Explain.
