Sophomore Standing Required. An analysis of Europe during the postwar era. Topics will include the aftermath of the Second World War, the rise of Cold War antagonisms, postwar prosperity, European integration, and the eventual collapse of the Soviet Bloc.

This course will cover the period 1945 to the present and provide students with a comprehensive view of Europe after World War II. Two important themes form the basis of the course: 1) the Cold War, i.e., division of post-war Europe into a bipolar conflict between competing diplomatic/military blocs lead by the United States and the USSR, and 2) European unification, i.e., the process by which post-war Europe slowly, at first, developed the institutions that promoted European unification. The course will include a substantial component of current events so that students can follow the present-day activities of the European Union and relate those activities to the historical integration of Europe.

The University of New Orleans International Summer School program has a mandatory class attendance policy. All students are required to attend class for all morning classes and any required afternoon and/or weekend fields trips and lectures. No unexcused absences are allowed. However, LFU students who have to miss a UNO class due to LFU examinations in the first two weeks of our program, can receive one excused absence for this. Any further unexcused absences will result in an academic penalty. Each faculty member determines the penalty for missed classes. Most professors deduct a letter grade for each additional missed class day. For details, please refer to your course syllabi, which will be distributed on the first day of class.

Die Anrechnung der Kurse der UNO-IBK International Summer School muss von den Studierenden selbst vorab mit den zuständigen StudiendekanInnen geklärt werden. Diese allein entscheiden über die Anerkennung der belegten Kurse für das jeweilige Studienfach. Es wird empfohlen, sich einen Vorabbescheid über die Anerkennung der Kurse ausstellen zu lassen.
