Class Objectives
/Class Outline
After World War II, the world (in the Western countries) rejected nationalism and protectionism (such as exclusive bloc economies) and constructed a global free trade system based on the principles of freedom, non-discrimination, and multilateralism. As part of this process, European integration began in Europe, forming a single market where people, goods, and capital move freely across borders under a supranational organization.

In this lecture, we will consider issues such as why and how European integration began, the universal ideals that supported integration and the political and economic aspirations of each country, and why, in the EU that was supposed to overcome nationalism, there is currently a boiling public demand for retaking sovereignty from the EU, symbolized by the British exit from the EU and for restrictions on immigration.
