Synopsis

Many theoretical explanations have been offered for the rise of the European Community, but historical analysis is rarely used to define the deeper significance of the events surrounding Maastricht. In this book however, the authors explore the process of European integration, and its future, drawing on extensive empirical research into the national archives of the member states. New evidence of the relationship between national and political strategy and the European Community, in Britain, Denmark, France, Italy and the United States, is used to reveal how interdependence and integration work in practice. The historical record implies that the Community does not supersede but reinforces the sovereign nation-state, and that European integration in various forms is initiated by national rather than supranational considerations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Many theoretical explanations had been offered for the rise of the European Community, but none had used historical analysis to draw out the deeper significance of the events that surrounded Maastricht. However, in this book, first published in 1993, the authors explored the process of European integration, and its future, drawing on extensive empirical research into the national archives of the member states.

The authors brought their findings together in this consistently argued book to provide a new and coherent theory of European integration, which threw a fresh light on unexplored aspects of EC policy.

The debate over the Treaty of Maastricht shows how ill-understood are the issues involved, and this book is intended to improve that understanding. It is essential reading to students of history, international relations and political science.
