Introduction to the Public Law of European Countries

The course aims to deepen the students' knowledge of European public law, in particular its aspects of constitutional law and administrative law. Indeed, the national laws present in Europe present both similarities and differences, which should be highlighted. While it is, of course, only illusory to study all the public law of all the European States (27 member States of the European Union, 47 Member States of the Council of europe!), it is possible for us to contribute elements of constitutional and administrative law theory, before continuing with selected examples. Moreover, lessons 1 to 4 will deal more with constitutional law, while lessons 5 to 10 will deal more with administrative law.

British and American Culture 2

Objectives

Course description

• Gain a better understanding of the history of the United States between 1877 and 1936, an era that saw the country become a world power in political, economic and social terms.
• The course develops the ability to communicate orally in French and English, making appropriate use of the scientific vocabulary of the discipline.
• It involves reading and analyzing scientific texts and original documents in French and English.
• The aim is to develop the ability to read, write and express oneself in English.

From Gilded Age to Great Depression: 1877 - 1932 In this course, students will explore the introduction of racial segregation, the emergence of the United States as an industrial, economic and imperial power, and the political and social conflicts these transformations entailed. Between 1877 and 1932, 19th-century “liberalism” as a social and political philosophy faced enormous challenges. They gave rise to the hybrid liberalism-progressivism marked by Franklin D. Roosevelt's “New Deal”. Several themes will be explored: the emergence of the United States as a leader in international politics, the tension between the theory of political equality and the emerging reality of the enormous economic inequalities created by the Industrial Revolution, the changing status of women and their implications in various political movements, and of course the question of race and racism; manifest in the institution of segregation, but also in debates on immigration, imperialism, and the conquest of the “Wild West”.
