The European Union website offers a bookshop (free of course) full of quality publications, supported by a search engine (by type, industry, topic, author language) immediate and effective. It is worth taking a look at the annual report on the activities of the European Union and to the series “ the EU at a Glance. “, which offers monographs referring to Europe’s activities and challenges on a wide variety of topics.
