European Union studies
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

European Union studies or EU studies[1][2] is an interdisciplinary academic field within social sciences which is concerned with the study of European Union.[3] The discipline is often described as a subfield of European studies. Over the time two dominant geographical centres in EU studies developed in United States and European Union itself.[4]
The early development of the field was influenced by the beginning of European integration in 1950s in the aftermath of World War II.[5] The French Commission for the Study of the European Communities was established in 1965 followed by West German Arbeitskreis für Europäische Integration in 1969.[6]
Strogner academic interest in European Economic Community and European integration developed in 1980s.[7] Various national organisations in the field established the European Community Studies Association in 1987.[6] Over the time, some 500 institutions from 39 countries joined the association.[8]
