Because the second edition of the popular Very Brief Introduction released in 2007, the planet has faced huge monetary and political change. Displaying how and just why the EU has developed from 1950 to the present day, John Pinder and Simon Usherwood cover a variety of topics, including the Union's early background, the workings of its corporations and what they do, the interplay between 'eurosceptics' and federalists, and the role of the Union beyond Europe in international affairs and as a peace-keeper. In this fully modified third edition, Pinder and Usherwood include new materials on the Lisbon treaty, the EU fiscal crisis, the state of the one Euro currency in its wake, and conclude by considering the future of the Union and the options and challenges which may lie ahead.
