Short Description of Optional Courses
Copyright Law Policy – National and International
Participants of the course will get familiarized with the leading international treaties of international private law and the basic concepts of international copyright law. The above treaties contain only the basic doctrines of intellectual protection. Therefore significant differences are visible between several nations’ copyright statutes. The cases, articles, excerpts of statutes and reports that are used during the course witness these differences. Due to the comparative aspect of the lecture the students can significantly enlarge their knowledge on the international copyright law through the understanding of the international multilateral treaties and the differences of the several legal regimes (besides the Common Law countries the course will introduce European, and some Oriental and African sources).
Topics of the lecture that students may have great interest in include the different aspect of copyright protection in the US and on the European continent (including the neighboring and moral rights protection); and basic doctrines of international private law.
Freedom, Security and Justice in Europe
After the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty, European integration in the field of criminal justice (Area of Freedom, Security and Justice) gained new horizons: the new competences of the EU in this field promises new criminal policy on the European level. The course offers the possibility to understand the process leading to change in the following areas and with the following aims:
- Understanding the major contemporary debates and theoretical perspectives on freedom, justice and security in a European context.
- Transferring knowledge about the theoretic foundation of the FSJ area of the EU and about the institutional framework of the EU in the field of Judicial and Home Affairs and possible future developments.
- Getting familiar with the role and activity of the Court of the European Union in this field.
- To establish a general understanding of how European Law interacts with national criminal justice systems. Strengthening the comparative approaches in this field in favor of better analysis of the own legal structures.
European Public Policy
This course will consider public policy from the political and legal aspects and examine its practical application in the continual evolution of the European Union. The course examines the historical development of important legal structures for determining the creation and implementation of different types of policy outputs and also introduces the students to various supranational, national and sub-national institutions and actors that contribute to the EU policy-making process. Which policy areas are governed at the supranational level and which by the member states. How the EU institutions ensure democratic accountability? The EU neither a typical international organisation nor a traditional sovereign state. The course explores how the policy processes work in practice by scrutinising developments in important internal and external policy areas and over time. This course familiarizes students with the political and normative effect of the EU in the wider European neighbourhood.
European Administration
The course aims to introduce students to the administrative structure of the European Union and how the European integration has influenced and modified the national administrative system, how these two cooperates and collaborates, thus how the so called European administration operates. The course provides general characteristics of the European Administrative Space in the European Union as it presents the history of its development. It explores the position of the EU administration as a hybrid between international organizations as the course focuses on the direct administrations, the institutions, organs and agencies of the EU, and indirect administration meaning the administrative capacity and structure of national administration. Furthermore, the importance of organizational structures, organizational processes and organizational cultures as well as legitimacy and efficiency is discussed. A specific example with Hungarian interest is also described for better understanding.

Among others, the course will cover issues like international sale of goods, international commercial arbitration, leasing, franchise, international payments, international transportation, distributorship contracts, and international investments. At the end of the course, students will acquire the foundational knowledge necessary to understand institutional roles and legal structures in the field.
