The European Union (EU) stands out as a strikingly unique political organization. On the one hand, it has demonstrated the potential for deep and extensive cooperation among member states, to an extent that far exceeds anything comparable we have encountered anywhere else in the world. On the other hand, in the current situation, it is caught in the throes of intense uncertainty regarding its viability and future.
By presenting how and why the EU has developed from 1950 to the present day, this concise introduction covers a range of topics, including the early history of the Union, the functioning and role of its institutions, the interaction of Eurosceptics and federalists within it, its role in affairs beyond Europe, and its character as an international peacekeeping force.
Throughout the pages of the book, Usherwood and Pinder examine the EU as an organization that is now involved in most areas of public policy and cover developments in the wake of the migration crisis and the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the Union. Analyzing the reasons why the EU continues to attract new members, they conclude with reflections on its future, through the choices it must make and the challenges it is expected to face.
