The legal order created by the European Union shapes our political life and society. Individuals are not merely citizens of their country, town or district; they are also EU citizens. The ABC of EU Law by Prof. Klaus-Dieter Borchardt examines the roots of the European project and its development as a legal order, and is a definitive reference work on the subject. It is intended for interested readers who would like an initial insight into the structure of the European Union and the supporting pillars of the European legal order.

EU law characterises the past 70 years of the EU, from the ECSC to the EU of today. In those 70 years, the EU has transformed from an economic union to a union for its citizens.
