The European Union Explained provides a concise overview of the structure, history, and policies of the European Union. Anyone who needs a quick and accessible introduction to the EU -- including scholars and professionals in government, business, media, or the nonprofit sector -- will find this volume a valuable tool. Ideal for advanced high school and college text use, it is also useful background reading for those planning overseas study, work, or research. Drawing on many years of teaching and consulting, Andreas Staab offers basic terms and interpretive frameworks for understanding the evolution of the EU; the overall structure, purpose, and mandate of its main constituent divisions; and key policy areas, such as market unification.

Welcome to my Author Page.

My background is in Political Science, having received my PhD from the London School of Economics where I also taught for a couple of years before setting up a consultancy called EPIC - the European Policy Information Centre which offers advice and guidance to governments, businesses and NGOs in EU accession and candidate countries. I continue to teach for a number of London-based study abroad programmes including Washington University in St. Louis, the University of California, and the University of Oregon. My most recent publication is the fourth edition of a textbook entitled 'The European Union Explained' (2024). I am also the author of 'The End of Europe? The Five Dilemmas of the European Union' (2020), as well as 'Separation after Unification: The Crisis of National Identity in Eastern Germany’ (1998).

    I couldn't ask for more when purchasing a textbook for college. They shipped easily within the time they listed and they were the cheapest for the book I needed. I'd love to do business with them again. Thanks!

    Like many Americans, I had little knowledge of the interworkings and make up of the European Union. The European Union Explained by Staab gives a great introduction into the EU: the history, the functions, the policies, and the future. The topics vary from the common agricultural policy to EU enlargement. The chapters are organized and the writing is clear. I now feel I have a grasp on the European Union, so much so I have discussed the French Presidency of EU with the French Consulate General. Understanding the European Union is essential to understanding global politics. The European Union Explained by Staab is essential for an understanding of the EU.

    The European Union is complex, and can be difficult to understand, especially if you reside outside its boundaries. Dr. Andreas Staab's book is the perfect starting point for anyone looking to study the European Union. "The European Union Explained" introduces the fundamental concepts, actors and institutions of the EU in a manageable and interesting way. The European Union will continue to play a key role throughout the 21st century... I encourage everyone to read this excellent book.

    Global uncertainty requires a global view. Economics, geopolitics, ecology, history, security, diplomacy, international relations, euro-centric psychology. From the point of view of a united Europe, Staab's new book offers even the casual reader an insightful narrative and the fresh, contemporary perspective necessary for a full grasp on any of these. Buy it. Read it. Get a twenty-first century take on the direction modern Europe is truly headed. --Jack Steinberg
