However, in order to sustain the interest of students once in the classroom, innovative teaching techniques and linking this subject matter to current geopolitical issues are often necessary. Indeed, teaching the EU is seen as a crucial means of enlightening young Americains about views on world politics which differ from those of their own government. |
