Description:This course is designed to give students a grasp of the economic and political realities for entrepreneurs both in Spain (a Member State of the European Union) and Bosnia and Herzegovina (an EU Potential Candidate Country).

Students will get a better understanding of the European integration project, covering diverse economic and political topics such as its origins, the EU treaties and institutions as well as the European programs focused on business. The Spanish adhesion process will be also detailed along the lifetime of the EU stressing the specific challenges that this process meant both for Europe and Spain.

Home/Ident

A course may be either a “Home” course or an “Ident” course.

A “Home” course is a course that is created, maintained and “owned” by one academic department (aka the “Home” department). The “Home” department is primarily responsible for the decision making and logistical support for the course and instructor.

An “Ident” course is the exact same course as the “Home” (i.e. same instructor, same class time, etc), but is simply being offered to students through another department for purposes of registering under a different department and course number.

Students should, whenever possible, register for their courses under the department number toward which they intend to count the course. For example, an AFAS major should register for the course "Africa: Peoples and Cultures" under its Ident number, L90 306B, whereas an Anthropology major should register for the same course under its Home number, L48 306B.
