After Empires describes how the end of colonial empires and the
changes in international politics and economies after
decolonization affected the European integration process. Until
now, studies on European integration have often focussed on the
search for peaceful relations among the European nations,
particularly between Germany and France, or examined it as an
offspring of the Cold War, moving together with the ups and downs
of transatlantic relations. But these two factors alone are not
enough to explain the rise of the European Community and its more
recent transformation into the European Union. Giuliano Garavini
focuses instead on the emergence of the Third World as an
international actor, starting from its initial economic cooperation
with the creation of the United Nations Conference for Trade and
Development (UNCTAD) in 1964 up to the end of unity among the
countries of the Global South after the second oil shock in
1979-80. Offering a new - less myopic - way to conceptualise
European history more globally, the study is based on a variety of
international archives (government archives in Europe, the US,
Algeria, Venezuela; international organizations such as the EC,
UNCTAD, and the World Bank; political and social organizations such
as the Socialist International, labour archives and the papers of
oil companies) and traces the reactions and the initiatives of the
countries of the European Community, but also of the European
political parties and public opinion, to the rise and fall of the
Third World on the international stage.
