With its 28 Member States and its 506,8 million inhabitants the European Union is the world's leading economic power and the euro is the second reserve currency. However the European Union is still largely unknown to its citizens.
This Atlas permanent de l'Union européenne/Permanent Atlas of the European Union is a reference work that presents the Union, its institutions and each of its Member States via their history, culture and statistics. With over 50 original maps, historic sheets and updated figures, it offers a complete, unique picture of Europe.

It is a vital tool to learn about and understand the issues at stake in the 21st century, the present economic crisis and the opportunities open to Europe, including the euro in a changing world.

Compiled by experts at the Robert Schuman Foundation, one of the leading think-tanks devoted to European integration, these maps and texts help to provide rapid information about the common institutions, and also about each European Union State, their institutions, political life and views of the world and Europe.

A unique innovation it offers free access to an internet site www.atlas-permanent.eu on which data is permanently updated, enabling everyone, teachers, students, researchers, experts, decision makers or simply the curious to have the best information about Europe at their fingertips in every possible way.

Jean-Dominique GIULIANI and Pascale JOANNIN are respectively Chairman and General Director of the Robert Schuman Foundation.
