The Political and Social Sciences Department is located within the Ciutadella Campus. Located just a few metres from Ciutadella Park and only 200 meters from the sea, the Ciutadella Campus is the biggest urban campus. The space consists of six unique buildings connected by wide pathways and terraces bustling with young Social Science and Humanities students. This is where the full time English-language European Politics and Society Václav Havel Erasmus Mundus Master —among others— is taught. The two main buildings on the campus, Jaume I and Roger de Llúria, were originally built and used as military barracks. After their renovation in the mid-90s, they began to be used for university functions.

The joint master degree European Politics and Society aims to bring students state-of- the-art knowledge in his/her subject area of choice, and prepare you for a central role in relation to Europe’s future as the next generations of managers, policy makers and research leaders. In the second year the Programme offers four different study strands reflecting the diverse expertise of the consortium members. Each strand combines various elective courses, research methods, and training language tuition with an advanced research dissertation supervised by key staff from each Partner university. These tracks are the following: Traditions and Future of a Multilevel Europe (Prague), Policy making in the EU (Barcelona), Centre and Periphery (Krakow) and Europe in the International Environment (Leiden). Barcelona Strand: Policymaking in the EU The programme in Barcelona has a more scientific specialization and the students concentrate on research skills. It aims to produce political science analysts and researchers with the necessary capacity for independent work to apply current analytical techniques and methods productively, and the necessary capacity for group work to make valuable contributions to research teams, research centres, and analysis departments and offices. During the 3rd. Master’s semester, students are offered a range of optional courses to choose from, related to Public Policies, European Law and Institutions, Culture and Citizenship in Europe, and Methodology.

  • Constitutional Reasoning in Europe. a Linguistic Turn in Comparative Constitutional Law Final Report
    Az. 84484 (András Jakab, Schumpeter Fellow), 1 September 2016 Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law, Heidelberg Constitutional Reasoning in Europe. A Linguistic Turn in Comparative Constitutional Law Final Report Courts are reason-giving institutions and argumentation plays a central role in constitutional adjudication. Yet a cursory look at just a handful of constitutional systems suggests important differences, as well as commonalities, in the practices of constitutional judges, whether in matters of form, style, language, or other. Over time, too, constitutional reasoning may seem to exhibit both elements of change and elements of continuity. In what measure is this really the case? What is common to constitutional reasoning everywhere? Is the trend one of growing convergence (standardisation of constitutional reasoning?) or, on the contrary, one of increasing fragmentation? To what extent is the language of judicial opinions responsive to the political and social context in which constitutional courts operate? And how does it affect the behaviour of public and private litigants interacting with the courts? Funded by a Schumpeter Fellowship from the VolkswagenStiftung and housed by the Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law in Heidelberg, Germany (and in the second half of the project, also by the Institute for Legal Studies of the Centre for Social Sciences at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in Budapest, Hungary), the CONREASON Project endeavoured to answer these central questions of comparative constitutional scholarship by applying and developing a new set of tools and research methods. Theoretical efforts included the development of comprehensive typologies of constitutional arguments, but the Project also addressed judicial argumentation as a form of political communication, seeking to theorize how the rhetorical strategies deployed by constitutional judges differ from those employed by other public decision-makers.
