The creation of the European Community ranks among the most
extraordinary achievements in modern world politics. Observers
disagree, however, about the reasons why European governments have
chosen to coordinate core economic policies and surrender sovereign
prerogatives. In this eagerly awaited book, Andrew Moravcsik
analyzes the history of the region's movement toward economic and
political union.
Do these unifying steps demonstrate the preeminence of national
security concerns, the power of federalist ideals, the skill of
political entrepreneurs like Jean Monnet and Jacques Delors, or the
triumph of technocratic planning? Moravcsik rejects such views.
Economic interdependence has been, he maintains in his provocative
argument, the primary force compelling these democracies to move in
this surprising direction. Politicians rationally pursued national
economic advantage through the exploitation of asymmetrical
interdependence and the manipulation of institutional
commitments.
Focusing on Germany, France, and Britain, Moravcsik examines the
five decisive agreements that propelled integration forward. He
seeks to reintegrate the historical study of European unity with
theoretical inquiry into the sources of international
cooperation.
