Further information on descriptions Description: Aims & Learning Objectives:
The unit builds on Comparative Employee Relations and aims to develop students' understanding of differing national persepctives of EU states with respect to business, social and political interests. In addition, it considers how national economic interests shape the bargaining agenda between states within the EU as well as those attempting to negotiate accession to the EU (eg Central and East European states or CEECs).
On completion of the Unit students should be in a position to understand the differing agendas operating within member states under the above headings, together with their impact on Spain.

Content:
The Unit will address issues such as: EU Membership, background and key data, from the point of view of Spain, Germany, France and Italy; perspectives on Europe - the EU as perceived by the nations (and their business communites) already cited together with CEECs; the Europeanisation of economic policy making; social policy; political objectives and "bargaining": setting the agenda.
