Content
This course will be divided into modules over the first four weeks of the first term. Taking advantage of the students' presence, the discovery of the material traces of the European Union (EU) in the Brussels area provides an opportunity to critically discuss the cultural foundations of European integration. In a chronological sequence, the immediate history of the EU is analysed in depth in the light of recent historical research. Each module deals with a theme that will be studied using the documentary files, marked by a few questions inspired by historical criticism to establish the relevance of the evidence used. Each module is accompanied by a brief bibliography in French and English, providing a context for the historical foundations of European integration.
