54. Team Project Team Project

55. Team Project Teams will consist of 3-4 students The project report should be between 6 and 8 pages long (Font: Arial, 12; Line Spacing: 1.5). Student grades for the team project will be a combination of team grade (50%) plus individual contribution (50%)

56. Team Project Students will work in teams to analyze the expansion in the EU along three dimensions (a) Geographic expansion (b) Economic expansion (c ) Political expansion

57. Team Project A) Geographically, the union has grown from 6 original members in the 1950's to 27 today. B) Economically, the union has expanded from its roots in the coal and steel industries, moved on to bigger goals of a "single market" and free movement of goods, services, capital and people, and now includes a monetary union for 16 (soon to be 17) of it's members. C) Politically, the union has shifted over time away from purely inter-governmental negotiations, and has begun to take on various attributes of a supra-national (or even federal state).

58. Team Project Controversy: As the EU has expanded, there has also been a growing controversy regarding how much expansion is appropriate.

59. Team Project To discuss this controversy surrounding expansion…. students should consider…

60. Team Project Geographic: For the geographical dimension, students will focus on Turkey and it's bid to join the European Union. Students must answer the question: “Should EU enlargement include Turkey?

61. Geographic (Turkey question): Students should analyze the pros and cons of EU membership both from the EU perspective and from Turkey's perspective. Students must include discussion about political, economic and social issues related to the potential Turkish membership in the EU. What are the reasons for including/ excluding Turkey from EU membership? Should the EU consider expanding at all? If not Turkey, then who? If no new members should be invited to join, why not?

62. Team Project Geographic: To help with Turkish-question, consider reading: Book p 32-36 , including box “The Turkish question” Book p56-57 Book p205-207 “Relations with Eastern Europe” Reading: Economist special report on Turkey

63. Team Project Economic / business dimension : For the economic / business dimension, students will focus on the Single Market and objectives (4 freedoms) Concepts to consider include: How does the single market help European businesses to compete with global competitors (US, Japan, China, etc). How has expansion into Eastern Europe helped / hurt this goal? How important has the euro currency been to this project? What are the key issues of the single market in the future?

64. Team Project Political dimension Students will focus on issues related to national sovereignty and the transfer of power from national capitals to Brussels. Answering the following questions… What do you think the EU should be in the future? Should it become a "United States of Europe", totally unified and a super-state, or should it be a looser union (not any deeper than now)? more…

65. Team Project Political dimension Ideally, should the EU become a global rival to the USA, a second superpower to balance the US internationally? With respect to security, defense, taxation and other sensitive issues, do you think countries of Europe should cede more power to the EU?
