It tries to demonstrate the development and institutionalization of the EU’s externalization of its immigration policy within a theoretical context. Applying the theoretical debate
The EUCE/ESC will hold a ceremony during graduation weekend to recognize its undergraduate and graduate recipients of the European Union or West European Studies Certificate Program. A reception will follow for family and friends of the Center in the Pittsburgh Athletic Association.
