The aim of understanding EU politics is linked to its complex governance structure. How to interact with the EU institutions is increasingly important as the EU adds new powers to its existing competences (Lisbon Treaty, new economic governance structures …). To succeed in defending, or promoting, an interest or position in the EU depends entirely on understanding the institutions and how they individually and collectively take decisions. The course will equip the students to identify the right people at the right stages of the internal and inter-institutional decision-making procedures – with a clear focus on how the EU institutions deal with legislative and non-legislative files, the budgetary procedure and alternative forms of policy instruments. On the one hand, the students will be confronted with the latest academic findings in the field of EU goverance. But this lecture intends also to fill a gap by offering practical assistance to students on how the EU institutions and decision-making actually work – and how to work with them.
