Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: This paper will explore solutions and methods to teaching a one-semester course about European integration, encompassing both supra national as well as inter-governmental aspects. Most introductory courses on the European Union focus on the study of its institutions, polcies and the possible theories of its integration. This paper suggests that a fuller understanding of the EU can occur if professors integrate the study of EU institutions and policies with learning about politics in the individual member states from the start of the semester course. Since many students no longer take basic courses on European politics, courses on the European Union often need to be comprehensive in order to fill the gap left by the changing focus of the study of European politics. In this paper, we propose a course which combines a basic study of the EU with learning about politcs in the individual member states, and the roles that the member states play in implementing EU policies. We will also review the literature on teaching the EU and on active learning, such as using simulations so that we can demonstrate some effective techniques to facilitate the integration of EU politics with a better understanding of the needs of the member states. The paper also seeks to use the comparative study of several European states to better understand an international organization such as the European Union.
