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.
