An intellectual and cultural history of mid-twentieth century plans
for European integration, this book calls into question the usual
pre- and post-war periodizations that have structured approaches to
twentieth-century European history. It focuses not simply on the
ideas of leading politicians but analyses debates about Europe in
"civil society" and the party-political sphere in Germany, asking
if, and how, a "permissive consensus" was formed around the issue
of integration. Taking Germany as its case study, the book offers
context to the post-war debates, analysing the continuities that
existed between interwar and post-war plans for European
integration. It draws attention to the abiding scepticism of
democracy displayed by many advocates of integration, indeed
suggesting that groups across the ideological spectrum converged
around support for European integration as a way of constraining
the practice of democracy within nation-states.
