Histoire de l`intégration européenne EU integration Theory

Histoire de l’intégration européenne
Françoise Berger – Maître de conférence en histoire – Sciences Po Grenoble
Franç[email protected]
Ce cours propose une étude en trois temps de la construction européenne et de son idée. Tout d’abord
les utopies du XIXe siècle et les projets multiples et féconds de l’Entre-deux-guerres. Puis la phase
d’élaboration du projet définitif, de l’appel de Churchill en 1946 à la CEE. Enfin, sur fond de Guerre
froide, les différentes crises, difficultés et relances qui s’échelonnent de 1958 à nos jours. Il s’agit, entre
autres, de comprendre les enjeux, les divergences de conceptions, les causes des crises et les ressorts
des relances. Ce cours d’histoire s’appuie, selon les bases de cette discipline, sur l’analyse de multiples
documents, tout comme sur la recherche historique actuelle sur les constructions européennes. Tous
ces documents et articles, et bien d’autres, se retrouvent sur un site internet dédié qui sert de guide de
travail personnel.
EU integration Theory
Sabine SAURUGGER – Professeure des universités en science politique – Sciences
Po Grenoble/IUF
[email protected]
Since the beginning of European integration processes, analytical as well as normative theories have
mushroomed allowing for a structured understanding of this – seemingly new – phenomenon. Today,
scholars and students alike are confronted with a very large spectrum of theoretical texts on specific
approaches to European integration. This class aims at presenting these approaches in a coherent and
critical way. By the end of it, it should allow students to structure empirical material, whether in their
professional or research careers, through theoretical reasoning. Three debates based on a theoretical
reading of real-world events will help them to prepare to do so.
The class will analyse the theories and conceptual approaches in three steps. A first part will
concentrate on approaches which question the reasons for states to join regional projects and ask
which forms these projects take. A second part then studies the approaches calling for the
mainstreaming of EU studies through comparative politics and public policies. In this context
sociological approaches seem to be increasingly prominent too. Finally, in a last and third section, ‘new’
international relations approaches, based on norms, comparative regional integration and international
political economy will be presented.
European economy
Alain LAURENT – Maître de conférences HDR en économie – Directeur de l’UFR
ESE - UPMF
[email protected]
Yann ECHINARD – Maître de conférences en économie – Sciences Po Grenoble
[email protected]
The main goal of this course is to provide students with basic knowledge of the European economy.
The following key policies of the European Union will be presented: 1.The original customs union and
the current single market ; 2.The fixed exchange rate mechanism and the single currency ; 3. The
cornerstone of the Common agricultural policy and its reformed versions; 4. The regional policy and
the development aid. 5. The economic governance. As the European economy perspective is also an
issue determined by European nation-states, this course will present some national trends: 1.
Germany; 2. France; 3. The United Kingdom; 4. The newcomers.
EU Law
Fabien TERPAN – Maître de conférences en droit public – Sciences Po Grenoble /
Chaire Jean Monnet
[email protected]
This course aims at studying EU law in its political and social context. Is the EU more and more
influenced by its Member States and especially the most powerful ones? Do the intergovernmental
forms of cooperation and coordination progressively push aside the supranational ‘Community
Method’? Is the European Union becoming a federal organization empowered with an extended range
of competencies? Can the EU be described as a democracy and an international power? We will try to
provide the knowledge, concepts and analytical framework for answering these questions, through an
interactive pedagogy based on readings and research papers.
The class will analyse EU law in four steps. The first part presents the role of EU law in the integration
process. The second part focuses on European governance and looks at the interplay between
political institutions. The European legal system is studied in the third part of the class, followed by a
fourth part on EU competencies and main policies. Finally, the last part is dedicated to the
political/legal nature of the European Union.

Première année (semestre 2) :
Europeanisation of public policies
Claire Dupuy – Maîtresse de conférences en science politique - Sciences Po
Grenoble
[email protected]
This class takes stock of the growing importance of the European Union to account for domestic
policy-making and, specifically, investigates the Europeanization of public policies. The class adresses
the following questions: What is Europeanization and how does it proceed (e.g. through
intergovernmentalism, judicial decision-making, soft law)? How do European and domestic actors’
resources and strategies, as well as other mediating variables, influence Europeanization processes?
What are the domestic impacts of Europeanization processes at the national and subnational levels?
Particular attention will be paid to social policy.
Droit social de l’Union européenne
Dorian GUINARD – Maître de conférences en droit public – Sciences Po Grenoble
[email protected]
Le cours aborde la dimension sociale au sein du système juridique de l’Union européenne,
principalement à travers l’étude du droit de la concurrence, de la commande publique. Il analyse
également ce caractère social au sein du marché intérieur en étudiant la notion de prestations
sociales, en la rattachant à la liberté de circulation des personnes. La définition et les mécanismes de
construction des services sociaux constituent le cœur du séminaire: l’analyse porte ainsi sur la
détermination de la notion et sur les conditions de son financement.
Contentieux européen
Romain TINIERE – Professeur des universités de droit public – UPMF
[email protected]
Les objectifs de ce cours sont de présenter les principales caractéristiques du contentieux de l’Union
européenne, tant dans son aspect proprement européen que dans ses conséquences au niveau
national.
Après une présentation de la Cour de justice et des principales problématiques auxquelles elle est
confrontée, notamment du fait de l’élargissement de l’Union, il s’agira d’aborder les aspects de
procédure des différentes voies de droit ouvertes devant la Cour et le Tribunal afin d’en présenter les
principaux mécanismes mais aussi d’évoquer les conséquences que l’existence d’un office de juge
européen de droit commun ne manque pas d’avoir sur le juge national.
S’appuyant aussi souvent que possible sur des exemples jurisprudentiels concrets, cet enseignement
doit permettre aux étudiants d’acquérir les compétences suffisantes pour appréhender les différentes
facettes du contentieux de l’UE sous leur aspect tant pratique que théorique.
Economic governance
Yann ECHINARD – Maître de conférences en économie - Sciences Po Grenoble
[email protected]
The main goal of this course is to present and discuss Europe’s current economic governance which is
the result of theoretical influences developed during the 80’s and 90’s (monetarist and new
macroeconomic theories) and the result of national political motivations (centralised monetary policy
and decentralised fiscal policies). The Treaty of Maastricht reflects this trade-off (Part 1). The crisis of
the European Monetary Union started in 2008 showed the lack and failure of European economic
governance (Part 2). However, a new dynamic is working and the European economic governance is
changing (Part 3).
Welfare states in Europe. Typologies, instruments and
retrenchments in times of crisis
Sonja ZMERLI – Professeur des universités en science politique – Sciences po
Grenoble
This course offers a substantive overview of welfare states in Europe and the variety of their policy
instruments from a comparative perspective. Starting from Esping-Andersen’s ground-breaking
theoretical study “Three Worlds of Welfare State Capitalism” this course extends its geographical and
theoretical scope to include CEE countries as well as Southern European countries. In light of the
financial and economic crises in several European countries, this course furthermore discusses
current policies of welfare retrenchment and their political and societal implications. Whether a
sufficient common normative ground exists for the formation of a European welfare state can finally be
evaluated by and discussed amongst the informed participants. Moreover, this course relies on
students’ active involvement and reading of the assigned literature.
EU External action
Fabien TERPAN – Maître de conférences HDR en droit public – IEPG / Chaire Jean
Monnet
[email protected]
The aim of this class is to study the role played by the European Union in the international arena. We
will present the institutions as well as the policies and instruments that help the EU to become an
international actor. In particular, the differences between the ‘intergovernmental’ CFSP (Common
Foreign and Security Policy) and the ‘supranational’ economic policies (trade, development,
humanitarian action…) will be emphasized. And the most recent evolutions such as the creation of the
European External Action Service will be scrutinized.
Does the EU achieve coherence in external action, both horizontally (coherence between the
institutions) and vertically (coherence between the EU and the Member States’ diplomacies)? Is the
EU a civilian power or a military power in the making? Is the concept of normative power useful to
understand the nature of the EU’s international engagement? What are the main approaches, theories
and methodologies used to analyse EU foreign policy? This class will seek to answer these questions,
through an interactive pedagogy based on readings and research papers, and will close with an inclass simulation exercise on EU foreign policy decision making.
Deuxième année (semestre 3) :
Public Opinion in the EU
12 heures – 3 crédits – contrôle continu – semestre 3
Bruno CAUTRES – Chargé de recherche – CNRS – Sciences Po Paris
[email protected]
The course covers topics related to the public opinion in Europe and towards Europe. It focuses on
public opinions towards the EU and European integration as well as political behaviour of Europeans
in European elections. An important issue, in particular in the first sessions of the course, will be the
question of the support and legitimation processes of citizens towards EU and the trends in public
opinions towards EU. The explanations for these trends (economic factors, cultural factors, contextual
national factors) will be studied in detail; the question of opinion formation through media coverage of
European issues will also be treated. Finally, we will analyse the European elections of June 2014:
how to explain the low turnout, the rise of populist/ anti-EU parties? How does this illustrate the
fundamental issue of the legitimacy of the EP and the democratic deficit. And, finally, is there a
“European voter” ?
Interest Groups and Collective Action in the EU
12 heures – 3 crédits – contrôle continu – semestre 3
Sabine SAURUGGER – Professeur des universités en science politique – Sciences
Po Grenoble/IUF
[email protected]
The aim of this class is to study the organisation and the functioning of public and private interest
groups (such as trade unions, NGOs, business organisations, firms and social movements) in Europe.
We will look both at the establishment of groups as well as their internal and external working
methods.
Public and private interests contribute to the generation, definition and in particular the perception of
issues in the European Union policy making processes. This class will attempt to answer the following
questions: Who is represented by interests groups at the EU level? Who intervenes in EU agendasetting processes? How do problems emerge, and are framed by interest groups in the European
Union realm? And finally, are interest groups a danger or a force for the European democratic system?
Starting from a conceptual and theoretical approach, analysing interest groups both as a notion and as
actors in comparative political systems, we will look in a second part of the class at a number of case
studies.
Parliaments and Parties in the EU
12 heures – 3 crédits – contrôle continu – semestre 3
Christophe BOUILLAUD – Professeur des universités en science politique –
Sciences Po Grenoble
[email protected]
The impact of partisan and ideological orientations tend to be forgotten by mainstream theories of
European integration (neofonctionalism, liberal intergovernementalism, neoinstitutionnalism, etc.). In
fact, the role of partisan and ideological orientations, be it at the individual level of the « Founding
Fathers of Europe » (De Gasperi, Schumann, Spaak, etc.) or at the party level (Christian democrats,
socialists, liberals, etc.) is well documented by historians. Each European election since 1979 has
been also an occasion to bring to the fore that « parties at the European level » do exist, and, with the
political groups inside the European Parliament linked to them, do play a not so trivial role in European
governance. So, although on a day to day basis, partisan aspects of European integration are most of
the time not mentioned by great medias when (bad?) news on Europe are given, this presentation
intends to show that “Europe” has in fact to do with partisan and ideological orientations. “Europe” is
so basically a long-term plot by mainstream parties of Western Europe after the WWII against both
nationalist and left-of-the-left forces to come to term with the modern democracies’ contradictions of
government by the people and government for the people.
Both historical and contemporary aspects will be studied. This course will be organized under the form
of a reading seminar, and will try to prioritize active methods of learning.
Les entreprises et les sociétés dans l’Union européenne
12 heures – 3 crédits – contrôle continu – semestre 3
Hélène CLARET – Maître de conférences HDR en droit privé – Université de Savoie
Irène LAURENT - Maître de conférences HDR en économie – Sciences Po Grenoble
[email protected]
Cet enseignement bi-disciplinaire s’attache à analyser la traduction juridique des principes
économiques et les effets économiques des évolutions juridiques sur les acteurs privés. Sous ce
prisme, il s’agit de présenter en parallèle les approches juridique et économique de la notion
d’entreprise, de la politique de l’Union Européenne à l’égard des entreprises et ses effets sur elles, de
la mise en œuvre et des effets de la politique de concurrence européenne envers les entreprises en
réseaux, les services d’intérêt économique général, les activités de service.
L’évaluation se fera sur le rendu d’un dossier qui, à partir d’une étude de cas et d’une rencontre
d’acteurs (professionnels, entreprises locales, collectivités, associations, banques, assurances…),
mènera une réflexion sur la pertinence du niveau européen pour l’acteur concerné, les traductions
juridiques des principes économiques et les implications économiques des évolutions des règles du
droit européen.
Politiques européennes de l’environnement
12 heures – 3 crédits – contrôle continu – semestre 3
Jean Paul Bozonnet – Maître de conférences en sociologie – Sciences Po Grenoble
Objectifs : présenter les raisons sociales et politiques qui ont conduit aux législations européennes de
l’environnement, puis les modalités complexes et les difficultés de leur application.
Contenu : L’UE a impulsé les politiques environnementales dans les différents pays membres depuis
les années 70, si bien que les décisions prises à l’échelle européenne, conditionnent désormais 85%
de la législation des 28 états membres. Une première partie du cours retracera l’histoire de cette
construction de politique publique pour en comprendre la logique. Puis une seconde partie analysera
le bilan de la situation actuelle en matière d’environnement et présentera les perspectives pour les
années à venir.
Gestion de projets
24 heures – 6 crédits (sauf parcours recherche) – contrôle continu – semestre 3
Laurent LABROT – Professeur associé (PAST) – Sciences Po Grenoble / Directeur
d’EDIAS
[email protected]
Il s’agit ici de l’équivalent d’une formation proposée par certaines collectivités et cabinets privés et qui
vise à permettre l’acquisition des compétences initiales à la conception, montage et conduite de
projets européens.
Outre un historique de ces programmes, leur typologie, règles et principes de fonctionnement, un
regard particulier sera proposé sur la programmation 2007-2013. Seront également abordé les
questions des partenariats, zonages, financements et budgets, contrôles, principes de montages
écrits et non écrits. Des exemples concrets seront donnés et quelques spécialistes viendront
présenter leurs projets afin de donner au contenu un aspect plus concret. Une documentation
complète ainsi qu’un carnet d’adresses sera également proposé en complément afin que les
participants puissent monter leurs projets à moyen terme. Enfin, des précisions seront données sur les
compétences et emplois disponibles dans ce domaine.
Séminaire EU Law and Politics
18 heures – 2 crédits – Contrôle continu – Semestre1
Fabien TERPAN – Maître de conférences en droit public – Sciences Po Grenoble

Sabine SAURUGGER – Professeure des universités en science politique – Sciences
Po Grenoble / IUF
[email protected]
In every political system, the link between law and politics is intimate: decision-making leads to the
establishment of law, the basis of government and governance, law, once established influences
politics as well as policies and policy-making.
In the context of the EU, this co-constitution is no exception. The objective of this seminar is to
understand this link, first based on the discussion of a series of academic articles and official texts.
Students will learn to master how to analyse this link systematically, in elaborating a rigorous research
design in order to study one specific empirical question of their choice linked to the functioning of the
EU.
They will write an 8000 words essay, either individually or as a small group (max 3 students), based
on a theoretical framework, a clear research question and hypotheses and first-hand empirical data.
Subjects may range from the role and influence of the Court of Justice of the European Union in EU
politics to public policy change or the impact of economic and financial crises at the domestic level.
Before handing in the final essay in April, mid-term reports will be presented in class and discussed
collectively. Essays may be written in English or in French.
