This lecture on "European macroeconomics" mainly focuses on the governance of economic policies in the EU. More precisely, this course proposes to present the main steps of the European integration process, to explain the originality of the Eurozone and to offer an original presentation of fiscal policy in the EU to underline the multi-level governance of public finance in the EU.

• Awareness of the specificities of the Eurozone
• Understanding of the divergences, tensions and potential of harmonization especially as regards fiscal policy and public finance management
• Potential capacity to relate this knowledge to firms strategies
