Understanding the European Union - where it has its roots and how it works - is not the easiest thing. Nevertheless, it is an absolutely necessary knowledge to acquire in order to be able to navigate in today's Europe as an individual.

The purpose of this book is to describe, make understandable and analyze the European project - the EU. The book is multidisciplinary in that both historical and legal as well as political science perspectives have guided the layout and presentation. Thanks to these different disciplinary approaches, the book provides a versatile and nuanced picture of the EU's genesis, growth and functioning.

The book is divided into four parts covering different aspects of the European Union:
- A historical part that gives the European present and the future a foundation to stand on.
- A part that describes, analyzes and explains the EU as a political system.
- A part with a focus on the EU as a legal system and the EU as a legal system.
- A section that addresses and discusses how we should understand the EU's actions in an increasingly globalized world.
