European Integration
- Integration of states (IR) (opbouw= bottom up)
why do states integrate? Why are sovereign states willing to share
sovereignty and to integrate to work together, what are their motives? How

What inspired them to cooperate?
you need theories of IR to understand why states are willing to integrate.

states on the same degree

- Economic issues like how the Euro can survive
- Public Health policies fe: the impact of the Corona crises
, The abduction (ontvoering) of Europe by nationalism and populism there is integration

populism and nat.
