This book owes much of its success to the fact that it evolves together with the European Union, keeping its readers abreast of the latest changes in Europe's architecture. One would be hard pressed to find many volumes that follow the EU's development so closely, with subsequent editions published so frequently. The new edition now covers the consequences of the enlargements of 2004 and 2007, analyses the changes of the Reform Treaty - expected to put the EU on new foundations from 2009 - as well as the new trends of individual policies in the 2007-2013 financial perspectives. Zoltán Horváth followed his studies in Hungary, France and the United Kingdom, writing his PhD thesis on EU decision-making. He has worked at the University of Economics of Budapest, the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and, in recent years, at the Office for Foreign Relations of the Hungarian Parliament, as the Head of its EU Department. He also serves as the Head of the International Studies Department of the Budapest Management College.
