European Integration and Values in Political and Social Life 2751-IP-S2-1-EIVP

The course starts with general considerations on the importance of values in political and social life. Furthermore, the process of shaping common European values is presented, including the process of European integration. The next classes focus on values of human dignity (including discussion on particular issues such as death penalty and euthanasia), freedom (in particular freedom of religion and private life), democracy (both in the EU and its Member States), the rule of law and its core elements, respect for human rights and the rights of minorities (including their meaning and protection mechanisms). Tolerance, social justice, solidarity and cultural diversity are also important topics of discussion. Finally, during the course the mechanisms to ensure compliance with these values are presented.
