CREDITS 2 (LV) 3 (ECTS) - 32 Contact Hours

The aim of the course is to introduce the students to the external relations of the European Union by focusing on developing the problem-solving skills of students but also on giving them a broader and deeper understanding of EU external relations. The primary aim is comprehension of the legal framework and the primary law of the EU, as well as the interaction with international law, but in some particular topics a closer look will be taken at secondary legislation and policy making. External relations include a political aspect, which is to be identified throughout the course, thus explaining the intersection between the legal and political frameworks of the EU.
