Abstract
This article compares two handbooks about the European Union (EU) published in Hungary. One of them is in Hungarian and therefore has a putative audience of Hungarian speakers. The other handbook is in English and therefore has a putatively international audience. Based on the assumption that providing education is one of the key functions of states, the two books are compared on what they say about education and the EU and whether they have a state-like ontology for the EU. The findings reveal that the two handbooks in fact do not conceptualize the EU as a state or a state-like structure even though there are indications that it is understood as an empire.
