The course also deals with the problems of the EU decision-making system ańd European governance in the area of CFSP (with special emphasis on ENP and EaP) after the Lisbon Treaty (which institutions are resposible for these areas and what does it mean in reality). After the end of the course students will be able to understand and explain the role of the European Union in the Eastern dimension of its neighborhood, the problems of particular partner countries, which participate at Eastern Partnership: Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia.
