Fulfils the need for a suitable textbook on EU history at a time when it is becoming an increasingly important component in courses on the EU.
Focuses not just on the great events but on the smaller incremental developments too, helping students to take a truly in-depth look at developments in EU history.
Carefully edited contributions from international experts, providing students with authoritative and accessible content.
European integration is now in its sixth decade and the EU is growing in importance as a subject of historical research. This timely book brings together specially commissioned chapters in order to provide a coherent and comprehensive analysis of the origins and evolution of the EU.

Written by leading scholars, The Origins and Evolution of the EU presents current scholarship on the history and historiography of the EU in an easily accessible way. The first part provides a chronological framework for the rest of the book and the next three parts explore particular events, issues and themes in the history of European integration. The final section covers the historiography of European integration.
Readership: Undergraduate and graduate students of EU Politics.
