Alan S. Milward was a renowned historian of contemporary Europe. In
addition to his books, as well as articles and chapters in edited
books, he also wrote nearly 250 book reviews and review articles,
some in French and German, which were published in journals
world-wide. Taken together they reveal a remarkable degree of
theoretical consistency in his approach to understanding the
history of Europe since the French Revolution. This book brings
together these previously unexamined pieces of historical analysis
in order to trace and shed light on key intellectual debates taking
place in the second half of the 20th century. Many of these
discussions continue to influence us today, such as the role of
Germany in Europe, the economic, social and political foundations
of European integration, the European rescue of the nation-state,
the reasons for launching the single currency, the conditions for
retaining the allegiance of European citizens to the notions of
nation and supra-nation, and ultimately the issue of democratic
governance in a global environment. In bringing together these
reviews and review articles, the book provides an introduction to
the main scholarly achievements of Milward, in his own words.
Fernando Guirao and Frances M.B. Lynch provide an introduction to
the volume, which both guides the reader through many of the
academic debates embedded within the text while underlining their
contemporary relevance. By introducing and bringing together this
hitherto overlooked treasure trove of historical analysis, this
book maps a close itinerary of some of the most salient
intellectual debates of the second half of the 20th century and
beyond. This unique volume will be of great interest to scholars of
economic history, European history and historiography.
