What is the origin of the European Union?
1957: creation of European Economic Community (EEC) and Euratom (cooperation with nuclear energy) for establishing better economic international cooperation. In the following years, more and more countries came to join the communities.
1985: the Schengen Agreement paved the way for open borders and free travel within the European community.
1993: the Maastricht Treaty formally established the European Union. -
What are the four characteristics of international law of coexistence?
- international law of coexistence contains answers to separate powers of sovereign states to uphold peaceful coexistence
- Horizontal in that it focuses on the way sovereign states interact with each other
- Not concerned with bringing states closer together
- The goal of international law of coexistence is that states reach their individual goals without infringing on other state's sovereignty. -
What is the relationship between national and international law?
International law is always superior. International law is therefore not concerned how a state lives up to its international obligations, only if they do it. -
In which two ways is international law applied within a state?
Monism: There is no separation between international and national law. International law can be applied directly into national law.
Dualism: International and national law operate independently from each other. -
What is the issue with enforcing international law?
There is no central organ which does so. Mostly individual states have to resolve issues amongst themselves. It is because of this that states get rewarded royally if they uphold international law, instead of abandoning it. -
What are the suggested inadequacies of international law in the 21st century?
The state-centric configuration of the world is outdated and sometimes counter productive. Some people even argue that state sovereignty should not be respected as much. However, they do not realise it is the sovereignty which is needed for achieving societal goals. -

For my 1st exam I got a C. Then, I started looking for ways to learn better and I came across Study Smart. Since then I have scored a A+, A, A- and another A. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to hear it. I am so happy with it!!
I was struggling to finish all my first-year subjects for 3 years. Then I discovered Study Smart, which helped me to finish all of them within 3 months.
Because of Study Smart with Chris, things are going well in many ways. Before, I always had study stress and no time for anything. Now I feel calm and confident (because of the program). I used to score a B, now I usually score an A or A+.
Hey Chris, I really want to thank you very much for developing the platform, I usually got around C for my exams, now I scored an A+, an A and a A- !!
Since using Study Smart With Chris, my average has increased significantly. I even completed a statistics course with a A+ while I'm bad at statistics. I took on extra courses this year, because of Study Smart. Thanks so much!
Ever since I started studying with Study Smart I passed all my exams !!! No more re-sits!! At first, I was happy with a pass and now I only get good grades. Many thanks!
I aced all the courses I studied with Study Smart. For law, I first scored a D, and now an A! I’m 100% sure that I’ll pass all the courses I study with Study Smart.
I always thought I studied well. My grades were fine. I could never have imagined that applying these study skills would have such a huge and direct impact on my grades, my speed and the pleasure I have in learning.
For the first time, I finally feel totally confident about the way I learn. I have the perfect overview and make great progress in terms of speed and the grades I get. Thanks, Chris!
I immediately started to enjoy learning again, and my grades soared. All of a sudden, everything went better. I highly recommend Study Smart to all students..
Being able to create my materials online made the process of studying so much smoother and quicker. I no longer have to spend a huge amount of my time on creating my summaries.
At first, my notes were a mess. Now I use Study Smart to take my notes in a perfectly structured way. It helps me to save a lot of time and do other things I enjoy.
Students that study with Study Smart get better grades. The system applies all the learning methods in such a way that both well-performing students and students who struggle perform much better.
Hi Chris, I would like to thank you very much. Last year I scored C on a course, and this year I got an A+ thanks to your method! Thank you very much!
The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with Study Smart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past
With my old method, I passed only 3 out of 8 courses. Since I started taking my notes digitally in Study Smart, I have passed all my courses on the first try. For me, Study Smart takes away the stress of wondering if I will pass or not.
Thanks to Study Smart with Chris, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.
