Presentation
The curriculum unit (UC) initially aims to show how European integration has contributed to regional economic development and how this has been shaped by political and social processes. It highlights the relationship between economic, political, and social development, focusing on their interpenetrations. Institutional dynamics are also addressed in direct relation to the explanation of the integration process in its economic and political aspects. In short, the program aims to describe, analyze and evaluate the process of European integration and understand the factors that conditioned it and the synergies that favored it.

Objectives
The UC has four main objectives: i) to explore the European integration process, emphasizing the political and economic conjunctures that led to structural changes in the EU; ii) to relate the evolution of the process with the founding treaties, showing the interaction between political and economic dynamics and how they are shaped by social processes; iii) to recognize and describe the functioning of the political system, taking into account institutions and citizen participation; and iv) to evaluate the limitations of the system and the dilemmas faced by the European project, taking into consideration the international context.
