The eight class of the module Europe as a Global Actor addressed the EU's multilateral involvement, cooperation, and strategic partnerships. First, we considered multilateralism in general, as one of the possible relations in the international community, discussing its importance and the much-discussed and alleged crisis and decline. We then discussed the EU's approach to multilateralism and had a short discussion on the article Effective Multilateralism: The Future of the EU's External Identity in a System of Trilateral Security Governance by Joachim Alexander Koops. We talked about challenges to EU's multilateralism and looked at the roles the EU plays in specific multilateral formats: UN, WTO, G7, G20, World Bank, IMF, and climate negotiations. We also discussed the main points of the EU Agenda for a Renewed Multilateralism (2021) and focused on EU strategic partnerships as an essential tool of the EU's common foreign policy since 2003.

The seventh class of the module Europe as a Global Actor addressed the EU's neighbourhood. First, we considered the political, economic, and security importance of having good neighbourly relations, and looked at five categories of EU's neighbours. We then delved into the EU enlargement process, looking at the accession process in some detail, including the article 49 of TEU and the main steps of the accession process, including the roles played by member states and the main EU institutions, and the framework of accession negotiations consisting of chapters. We then looked at the EU Neighbourhood Policy and Eastern Partnership as well as policy instruments, such as Individual Action Plans and Association Agreements (including DCFTAs).
