The European Union is more than a political institution or an economic alliance; it is a historical response to centuries of conflict, a philosophical search for unity, and a fragile experiment in collective identity.

The European Union Unveiled: Bridging Theory and Action explores the EUs evolution from a fragmented continent toward an ambitious vision of supranational cooperation. Drawing from centuries of intellectual heritage from the Roman ideal of citizenship to Victor Hugos dream of the United States of Europe the book traces how wars, ideologies, and integration treaties have shaped todays European project.

Through an in-depth analysis of foundational treaties, institutional structures, and political crises including Brexit, migration, the Arab Spring, and the RussiaUkraine war the book challenges readers to rethink what the EU is and what it could become.

Arguing that Europe cannot become a true global power without deeper political unity, the author revisits Altiero Spinellis federalist vision and presents a bold hypothesis: The path forward requires not just cooperation, but true constitutional federation.

This work is an essential resource for scholars, students, and policymakers seeking to understand the theory behind the European Union and the action required to secure its future.
