The Program seeks to offer a comprehensive analysis of the institutional and legal framework of the European Union and its relations with the rest of the world, the policies it adopts and implements, the impact of these policies on the Member States and the dynamic relations between the EU institutions and the Member States in a multilevel governance framework. In addition, the Program offers a truly European experience in two historic cities with a strong academic tradition and vocation; a stimulating international and multi-cultural environment, exposing students to different national and academic perspectives towards the EU and European integration; a particular focus on Southern Europe and the Balkans, on how Europe is perceived from its periphery and on the external perceptions of the EU as a global actor.
The Program includes as a core component ‘Region Europe’, the international program of the University of Turin on Europe and its role in the world. Involving professors, experts and students from all over the world, Region Europe contributes to expose students to different perspectives and voices from EU and non-EU countries, EU stake-holders and institutions.
Through a planned visit to the EU institutions and NATO in Brussels and to EU and international agencies in Torino, students can be introduced to the real functioning of EU governance and of other international institutions.
