They can analyze values and cultures of EU member countries in their stance upon the establishment of supranational organizations, institutions, and policies. Students know how to interpret the roles of member countries’ people as consumers, workers, and voters. In relation to the EU they are aware of the mutual interdependencies of prevailing values, individual interests, business opportunities and threads, macroeconomic constraints, and global business challenges. Students are encouraged to reflect upon the conditions of their home countries and to compare with the EU.
