From its antecedents in the 1950s, successive forms of European
integration were intended to be leaderless. They have succeeded
only too well in demonstrating that much can be achieved without
sustained leadership. The attachment to national sovereignty of
most of the European elites and mass populations has meant that
confederalism has been implicitly accepted for the foreseeable
future. This book attempts to clarify three clusters of issues.
First, as European integration has advanced, who has provided the
impetus? Particular insiders have episodically exerted decisive
innovative influence, despite the need to conciliate the jealous
champions of national sovereignty. Three case studies are offered:
economic and monetary policy, environmental policy and technology
policy. The second part examines why the European Union is
currently leaderless. The weakened Commission and the increasingly
assertive European Council and Council of Ministers have contended
for control of agenda-setting but it is in the sphere of foreign
and security policy that the EU's logic of leaderlessness has been
most conspicuous. Finally, reduced capacity of the Franco-German
tandem to offer acceptable leadership and British incapacity to
join or replace them in providing overall leadership is also
discussed.
