SYLLABUS European Values in Global Context - JPM649Institute of Political Studies, Faculty of Social Sciences, Charles University in Prague Instructor: Janusz Salamon, Ph.D.ETCS: 5 credits Prerequisites: None PLACE: Thursday, Jinonice campus, classroom J4020TIME: 12:30-13:20 CONTACTS:Office hours: Tuesdays, 15:30-16:50, Jinonice campus, office room 3101 Email: janusz.salamon at univ-oxford.com COURSE OBJECTIVES.This interdisciplinary course is designed primarily for students of international relations, European studies and other social sciences, whose future work may benefit from an in-depth knowledge of the content, sources and the logic of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU, as mirroring the ongoing debate about the foundational values of the European Union and of the emerging pan-European identity. The exploration of the roots of the European axiology will be just one of two focal points of the course, the other being comparative analysis of the European and non-European social and political values, with the question of the special place of the European project in the context of the globalizing, yet increasingly fragmented multi-polar world order looming in the background. COURSE CONTENTS:1.

Students will be asked to select in accordance with their preference a given number of topics from a list provided by the instructor and to discuss (in a form of short essays) relevant issues covering the material explored in class and in the related readings. Critical assessment of the theories and arguments - as opposed to mere memorisation - is expected. The exam (as well as the research paper described below) is compulsory for all enrolled students. Research Paper (ca. 2000 words, without footnotes and bibliography)The topic - to be selected by each student after a consultation with the instructor  - has to be closely related to one or more issues explored in class (and hence indicated in this syllabus). The paper is due before the last class. The paper has to be submitted in both electronic form (sent to the instructor via email) and in printed form (handed to the instructor in class). Submission of the research paper is a condition of being admitted to the written final exam. Each day of delay will cost the student 5% of the final grade.
