Should they? Can they? The course invites students to critically rethink interaction between the EU and its neighborhood. The method of inquiry is interdisciplinary, drawing on readings in international relations and anthropology. Students will be introduced to key theoretical approaches for studying the policies and politics of EU’s relations with neighbors and will have the opportunity to revisit them on case studies of Turkey, Ukraine and Egypt.  Debate on neighbors’ conceptualizations of ‘Europe’, ‘West’, ‘modernity’ and expectations from the EU will be an important part of the course. Course Policy and Grading  Midterm Exam                                                                     40 %Final Paper                                                                           40 %Attendance, Participation and Homework Assignments     20 %If you enjoy reading and engaging in critical discussions, this course will meet your expectations.
