This teaching guide includes general information about the subject “Budget and Governance in the European Union”. However, it is mandatory to follow the course through the virtual platform, for further details on this subject and process of monitoring.

The European Union is a key actor in shaping the international political economy and the relations between states and markets. It is therefore central to comprehend the interactions between economics and politics. For this reason, within a Master in European Union, it is necessary to  acknowledge the financial expenses and financial resources in the EU public finance as a promoter element of economic activity and integration, since the EU budget is essential in the process of European integration.

Mere knowledge of the content of EU policies does not suffice to capture the dynamics of the EU system. Familiarity with its issues is necessary in order to grasp the dynamics of policy-making and to predict the outcome of any given project. In this course the attention is paid not only to the financial stability in the European Union and the EU budget, but also the analysis of EU funding of adaptation is a part of this matter.
