The European Union Series, “Understanding The European Union, A Concise Introduction”, John McCormick, 4th Edition, Palgrave MacMillan
About the author:
“I first approached the EU from the vantage point of a British citizen living in the United States. I last lived in Western Europe in the 1980’s… my annual trips back to Europe have since allowed me over the years to compare…both sides of the Atlantic, and to gain the kind of perspective that distance often allows… made it easier to see the changes that Europe has wrought”…

The European Union Series, “Understanding The European Union, A Concise Introduction”, John McCormick, 4th Edition, Palgrave MacMillan
From the book
Most EU studies courses… do a “disservice by shrouding the EU in a fog of theoretical debates, treaty articles, arcane jargon, and convoluted philosophical theses that have helped make one of the most fascinating developments in European history sound dull and bureaucratic…

The European Union Series, “Understanding The European Union, A Concise Introduction”, John McCormick, 4th Edition, Palgrave MacMillan
From the book
“Politics at the European level is… full of drama, of success and failure, of bold initiatives and weaknesses, and of visionary leadership and mercenary intrigue…”

Three key ECON questions
1. how likely is a wave of sovereign defaults? 2. will the euro-zone make the changes needed
to prevent these? 3. could the eurozone survive them?
My answers, in turn, are: 1. quite likely; 2. probably not; and 3. perhaps – but not with certainty.

Notice the date: 2008 When reading a textbook on the EU, you must always
be aware of the date. Much more so than with courses on “marketing”, or “Cross Cultural Communications”…
Class Question – why is the date important?
![Page 29: Part 1 spain - eu course - summer 2011](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070315/5550bd05b4c905ff618b4fc2/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

New Treaties, new members, new rules, new crisis, new solution, new attitudes, new laws, new, new, new…

Questions: 1. how many members are
there today?2. Did the “constitution” pass?
![Page 31: Part 1 spain - eu course - summer 2011](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070315/5550bd05b4c905ff618b4fc2/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

roles of institutions… more powers to the Parliament, the creation of a new “president” position for the European Council, and a new “high representative” position for foreign relations…

INTRO
EU (by comparison)
![Page 40: Part 1 spain - eu course - summer 2011](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070315/5550bd05b4c905ff618b4fc2/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Questions for Students
Of the American students…Who voted? Would vote for Obama?
Health care issue... Right? Wrong? “Socialized” health care? Tax raise? Budget? What is the " tea-party."? Who are the candidates for pres? Republican?
![Page 41: Part 1 spain - eu course - summer 2011](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070315/5550bd05b4c905ff618b4fc2/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
NOTES
EU vs US attitudes toward “equality. US – equal opportunity. EU – equality of living quality
Q. would US accept EU version of socialized health care? Pension? Social benefits?
![Page 42: Part 1 spain - eu course - summer 2011](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070315/5550bd05b4c905ff618b4fc2/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Questions for Students
About the US…Turn on tv... Three channels 24 hour news & John Stewart...
Students probably know a lot about details of US politics, but…
![Page 43: Part 1 spain - eu course - summer 2011](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070315/5550bd05b4c905ff618b4fc2/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Questions for Students
But, who is "pres." of EU? Of Spain? Of Italy? PM of UK? What party? Left, right? Socialist? Dem?....
For how much students likely know of US politics.... Too much details, should probably know slightly more EU.... Turn on BBC at home page....read economist, etc...
![Page 44: Part 1 spain - eu course - summer 2011](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070315/5550bd05b4c905ff618b4fc2/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
NOTES
There are multiple “presidents” of EU
One of the “presidents” is a country (for six months)
There are 3 capitals of the EU. Why?
![Page 45: Part 1 spain - eu course - summer 2011](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070315/5550bd05b4c905ff618b4fc2/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Questions for Students
But, is it BETTER to already have an idea about your own politics?
Worry…if you are already political in US...then maybe pre conditioned to see bad in Europe.... "too oriented to past, too socialistic, etc" . Might be better if students NOT already political... So can see EU without pre-judge.
Q. Can you leave your prejudice at the door?
![Page 46: Part 1 spain - eu course - summer 2011](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070315/5550bd05b4c905ff618b4fc2/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
quotes
We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are. – Anais Nin
A great many people think they are thinking when they are merely rearranging prejudices. – William James
The traveler sees what he sees. The tourist sees what he has come to see. – G.K. Chesterton

– Mark Twain

Attitudes toward “state”
Moral Q: "is it right to have free health? Cheap education? Trains? Water you can drink from the tap?
Discuss…
![Page 49: Part 1 spain - eu course - summer 2011](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070315/5550bd05b4c905ff618b4fc2/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Attitudes toward “state”
Q. Should the US (as a developed nation also offer)?...
Q. Or, is THIS what got European countries in trouble?
![Page 50: Part 1 spain - eu course - summer 2011](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070315/5550bd05b4c905ff618b4fc2/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Attitudes toward “state”
Q. Is EU style "socialism" possible in the US?
Desirable? (what are the costs in terms of unemployment?)
![Page 51: Part 1 spain - eu course - summer 2011](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070315/5550bd05b4c905ff618b4fc2/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Attitudes toward “state”
Q. Is European social model collapsing?
![Page 52: Part 1 spain - eu course - summer 2011](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070315/5550bd05b4c905ff618b4fc2/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Why is there great infrastructure? Trains? Has as much to do with ELITES trying to make the single market work... Shortening distances, breaking down barriers... Trade, immigration. Again, this was an ELITE decision... Not one taken by masses
![Page 53: Part 1 spain - eu course - summer 2011](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070315/5550bd05b4c905ff618b4fc2/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
