Introduction
European Politics in a Global Perspective is a track within the Master's degree in International Relations.
European integration is a unique phenomenon. Nowhere else in the world have national states decided to a such a far-reaching form of cooperation and 'pooling' of resources as has been the case within the framework of the present-day European Union. Despite the problems the EU is facing nowadays, the economies and currencies, and to a certain extent also the political and social systems of the member countries, have become 'Europeanized' to a considerable extent. This fascinating development is studied in the track European Politics in a Global Perspective in Groningen.
