Synopsis and Contents

This book aims to show a first approach to the economic structure of the European Union. The content is organized in three parts. In the first part, an approach is made to the evolution of the historical process of integration, from its origins to the European Constitution; here a continuous reference is made to the international environment in which the advances in the long road towards integration have taken place, with a special mention to the United States as a hegemonic power and its interactions with the European Communities. The second part studies the institutions of the European Communities, and its interest is to show the main bodies of the EU and their functioning. The third part deals with the main EU public policies. The information is presented in a pedagogical way by means of tables, charts and illustrations, with the aim of facilitating learning. This book is a useful material for students, teachers and interested parties who wish to study the origin of the EU. It serves as a manual for the subject "Economic Analysis of the EU", which is taught in the third year of Business Administration and Management, as well as support in various subjects of European Economy, which are taught in different Spanish Universities in the area of Economics and Business Administration.
