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).

The sixth class of the module Europe as a Global Actor addressed the topic Great power politics: the EU's foreign policy towards China and Russia. We started with a discussion of Michalski and Nilsson (2018) article on EU's relations with China and Russia. Then we examined the concept of great power in international relations and assessed if and in what way the EU, China, and Russia are great powers. We then proceeded to analyse bilateral relations between the EU and China, and EU and Russia, covering economics, politics, and security. The lecture also discussed China and Russia's regional integration initiatives: BRI, SCO, EEU, CSTO as well as the growing trade and closer political relations between China and Russia.
