The European Union faces immediate and long-term challenges as it responds to the changing nature of the 21st century global order. Whilst the EU is the worldâs most successful multilateral institution that continues to attract applications from prospective member states, it faces the challenge of responding to the increasing support for populist political parties and dealing with erosion to democratic values within its member states.

In this fully revised and updated third edition, Alasdair Blair examines the economic, political, personal and social factors that have shaped the process of European integration since the end of the Second World War. Reflecting the most recent developments and presented in clear, accessible language, the book explores:

The context of European integration
The relations between the EU and its member states
The evolution of the EUâs institutions
Methods of decision-making
Key European Union policies
The rise of populism
The crises that the EU has faced in the twenty-first century
The future direction of European integration

Comprehensive and accessible, this book is an essential guide to understanding how the EU works and why it is even more important in the twenty-first century that when it was founded after the Second World War.
