The European Union: Promoting Peace and Economic Cooperation

The European Union (EU) is a political and economic union of 27 member states primarily located in Europe. Established after World War II, the EU aims to promote peace, stability, and economic cooperation among its members. It operates through supranational institutions and intergovernmental decisions, with the European Commission, European Council, and European Parliament playing key roles. The EU has its own currency, the euro, used by 19 of its member states. Over the years, the EU has expanded its membership and influence, shaping policies on trade, immigration, and environmental protection. Despite challenges and criticisms, the EU remains a powerful force in global politics.
