An historical introduction to the European Union: This is a short chronological political history of European integration from the Common Market to the present. The text also includes a contextualising survey of wider European history since the 1600s, and places unification against a background of world politics. Information is given on topics such as how the EU works, the basic principles of the Union, issues over 'contested' policies such as agriculture, protectionism and the budget, the Cold War, enlargement and the role of the US, language and the single European currency.
