The Lorenzo de Medici Institute in Florence is looking for a teacher for the course “The European Union” that will be offered in spring 2019
Course description:
Europe is at the forefront of international regional integration. No other group of nation states has proceeded further in gathering sovereignty. This advanced course gives a broad overview of developments in the European Union (E.U.) from the aftermath of the Second World War to the 2004 wave of expansion that admitted countries of Central and Eastern Europe and the 2009 ratification of the Lisbon Treaty. The approach in this course is political and aims at helping students to understand the nature and the peculiar characteristics of European integration. The course is organized in three parts. First, it reviews the ideas, events, and actors that led to the foundation of the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) and the European Economic Community (EEC) and to its enlargement from 6 to 27 countries. Second, the course takes an in-depth look at E.U. institutions and policies, casting a critical eye on the crucial period from 1985 to 1993 that led to the acceleration of European integration through the Single European Act, further enlargements, and the Maastricht Treaty. Finally, the course reflects on three major questions facing the E.U. in the new millennium: What is the E.U. as a political subject? What is its purpose? What should be its role in a global world? To explore the resonances of these questions the course considers practical policy dilemmas that the E.U. faces in various fields such as economic and monetary policy, regulatory and distributive questions, the democratic deficit, the challenge of expansion to the East, the Lisbon Treaty, and common foreign and security policy.
The objective of the course is to analyze the EU as an international organization and as a political system. By the end of the course, students will be able to:
• display accurate knowledge of the European political institutions interplay and contemporary issues;
• trace the history of the process of European integration;
• analyze critically the nature of the EU policies;
• analyze accurately the successes, failures and opportunities of the EU;
• improve oral communication skills;
• improve ability to work in a team in class;
• improve research skills and critical thinking.
To apply and for any questions, please contact Solange Finardi (email [email protected]) before 11 January 2019.

This is a first year Bachelor course that explores vertical relationships within the context of the EU (agenda-setting & lobbying, decision-making, implementation, enforcement, judicial review). The course is taught through the lens of tobacco regulation. Due to success of the Global Law Bachelor Program, the course must be taught twice (2 x 9 lectures).
- Law, Environment Technology
An optional course in our Master in EU Law and Master Law & Technology. A total of 11 lectures, many of which concern issues of EU law (e.g. bio-tech patents, GMO regulation and Charter of Fundamental Rights). It is conceivable that the TA could teach (some of) these lectures.
- Crisis and EU Law
A compulsory course in our Master in EU Law. This course consists of a total of 11 lectures that focus on the institutional and constitutional architecture of the EU. The main strands of enquiry concern (a) powers and competences, (b) exercise of powers & instruments, (c) delegated powers & agencies.
These general issues are contextualized by focusing on the EU’s engagement with concrete crises where the plasticity of institutional and constitutional arrangements have been tested to their fullest extent. This year, we have focused on Banking and Finances, Migration, Climate and Brexit.
- Harmonization
This is a compulsory Bachelor course for students that are seeking entry at university level after having completed a substantial part of their higher education program. The course makes students familiar with theories of harmonization and helps them solve concrete cases. In two lectures, we explore rationales for harmonization (derived from international trade law literature). We then focus on important policy fields that represent important harmonization techniques. Environment (minimum harmonization), education/diploma’s (mutual recognition), patents (optional harmonization) and energy.
- Introduction to EU Law
This is a first year bachelor course. Since it is policy that large groups of first-year students must be taught by a professor this course cannot be taught independently by a TA but only in the format of co-teaching.
This is a course for second year Global Law Bachelor students. The group consists of about 60 motivated international students from within and outside the EU. They have already been taught an introduction course to EU Law in the first year. There is some flexibility in what to teach and how to teach, in collaboration with a senior member of staff.
Tasks: The TA will teach or co-teach the course he or she has been selected for and will be involved in minor administrative tasks.
Remuneration: Depending on the course the TA has been selected for, the teaching period may be a maximum of 5 months or shorter.
