Book Description
L'ouvrage publié aujourd'hui constitue un apport pionnier et original à notre connaissance de l'attitude des patrons et des organisations patronales à l'égard des projets d'intégration européenne depuis les débuts de la guerre froide jusqu'aux années soixante. Des historiens économistes venus de l'Europe entière y présentent des communications renouvelant notre image de ce patronat «européen» Charles Barthel, Werner Bührer, Christophe Chanier, Gérard Chastagnaret, Michel Dumoulin, Anne-Myriam Dutrieue, Antoine Fleury, René Girault, Thierry Grosbois, Ginette Kurgan-van Hentenryk, Philippe Mioche, Ruggero Ranieri, Jean Rivoire. Des divergences d'intérêts à l'égard de l'Europe se constatent entre petites et grandes entreprises, entreprises privées et entreprises publiques. De même l'analyse des cas Philips et Goodyear révèle une approche de l'intégration européenne par les sociétés multinationales différente de celle d'entreprises nationales. Durant la période antérieure aux années soixante, celles-ci manifestent généralement une forte opposition à la construction européenne. Il suffit de rappeler les efforts aussi vains que considérables pour associer les patrons à la réalisation du Benelux. Puis entre la mise en place de la CECA et celle de la CEE, des phénomènes d'accoutumance au processus d'intégration incitent le patronat à s'y adapter lentement. Il va sans dire que l'apport considérable de ces recherches sur le patronat européen a le mérite de dépasser l'enrichissement de notre information en suscitant de nouvelles interrogations et signalant de nouvelles pistes aux chercheurs à venir.

Book Description
This book radically re-conceptualises the origins of the European Union as a trans- and supranational polity as it emerged between the Schuman Plan of May 1950 and the first enlargement of the European Communities at the start of 1973. Drawing upon social science theories and debates as well as recent historical research, Wolfram Kaiser and Morten Rasmussen in their introductory chapters discuss innovative ways of narrating the history of the EU as the emergence of a transnational political society and supranational political system. Building on these insights, eight chapters based on multilateral and multi-archival research follow each with case studies of transnational networks, public sphere and institutional cultures and policy-making which illustrate systematically related aspects of the early history of the EU. In the concluding chapter, leading political scientist Alex Warleigh-Lack demonstrates how greater interdisciplinary cooperation, especially between contemporary history and political studies, can significantly advance our knowledge of the EU as a complex polity. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of Politics, European Studies and History.

Book Description
By studying the negotiations which led to the conclusion of the original Treaty of Rome and the creation of the European Economic Community, this informative book, based on recently released archival sources, analyses the Franco-German bargain which shaped the Community's initial framework and policies. This is not just another book about Franco-German relations and the founding of the European Union. It presents a new theoretical framework which relates the founding of the European Community to its later development. An attempt to apply the ideational framework of the original Community to later developments, such as the single market and the Treaty on European Union, finds that the Union is still shaped by many of the ideas of the founding fathers. Birthmarks of Europe will be useful to teachers and students of the history and politics of the European Union, as well as to those studying the dynamics of the development of other regional integration networks.

Book Description
The quasi-federal European Union stands out as the major exception in the thinly institutionalized world of international politics. Something has led Europeans—and only Europeans—beyond the nation-state to a fundamentally new political architecture. Craig Parsons argues in A Certain Idea of Europe that this "something" was a particular set of ideas generated in Western Europe after the Second World War. In Parsons's view, today's European Union reflects the ideological (and perhaps visionary) project of an elite minority. His book traces the progressive victory of this project in France, where the battle over European institutions erupted most divisively. Drawing on archival research and extensive interviews with French policymakers, the author carefully traces a fifty-year conflict between radically different European plans. Only through aggressive leadership did the advocates of a supranational "community" Europe succeed at building the EU and binding their opponents within it. Parsons puts the causal impact of ideas, and their binding effects through institutions, at the center of his book. In so doing he presents a strong logic of "social construction"—a sharp departure from other accounts of EU history that downplay the role of ideas and ideology.

Book Description
Reinventing Europe provides a thorough exploration of the history of the European Union, tracing its development from inception to recent times. It is the first book of its kind to contextualize the history of the EU within the wider frames of European and global history. The volume also breaks new ground by successfully highlighting the roles individuals, member states, transnational actors and European institutions played in both advancing and slowing down European integration in the EU. With chapters from leading academics in the UK, the US and across Europe who draw on sources in a variety of languages, the book presents a balanced and comprehensive account of this sometimes controversial Union. It is made up of three main parts which in turn cover: · A narrative survey of the EU · A historical analysis of the key institutions and policies · Critical themes and vital geographical spaces There is also a historiographical essay which handily charts the literature in the field, as well as 50 illuminating images, a range of maps, text boxes and primary source extracts, a bibliography and a useful glossary.

Book Description
This book is a detailed and original look at the radical reorganisation of French heavy industry in the turbulent period between the establishment of the Vichy regime in 1940 and the creation of the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC), the forerunner to the European Union, in 1952. By studying institutions ranging from Vichy’s Organisation Committees to Jean Monnet’s Commissariat Général du Plan (CGP), Luc-André Brunet challenges existing narratives and reveals significant continuities from Vichy to post-war initiatives such as the Monnet Plan and the ECSC. Based on extensive multi-archival research, this book sheds important new light on economic collaboration and resistance in Vichy, the post-war revival of the French economy, and the origins of European integration.
