Permanent atlas of the European Union

Ce que dit l'éditeur

2^nd edition revised and updated

With its 28 Member States and its 512 million inhabitants the European Union is the world's leading economic power. The euro is the second reserve currency. And yet Europe is too often criticised for the vicissitudes of its construction. So that in the end it remains greatly misunderstood.

This 2nd edition of the Atlas of the European Union updated is an introductory work of reference to the Union, its institutions, each of its Member States and their overseas territories, via their history, their culture and their reality. With over 50 maps, original information sheets and summarised statistics, it offers a unique portrait of Europe that is accessible to the widest audience. It is a vital tool to learn about and understand the issues at stake in the 21st century and the challenges that Europe faces in a world undergoing deep change.

Drafted by experts at the Robert Schuman Foundation - one of the leading think-tanks devoted to Europe - in cooperation with the Wilfried Martens Centre for European Studies, this book provides easy access to information about Europe.

A unique innovation the Atlas is permanent, meaning that via free access to the website www.atlas-permanent.eu, its content is regularly updated so that everyone has at his or her fingertips the most up-to-date information on a constantly evolving Europe.
