The period between 1917 and 1957, starting with the birth of the
USSR and the American intervention in the First World War and
ending with the Treaty of Rome, is of the utmost importance for
contextualizing and understanding the intellectual origins of the
European Community. During this time of 'crisis,' many
contemporaries, especially intellectuals, felt they faced a
momentous decision which could bring about a radically different
future. The understanding of what Europe was and what it should be
was questioned in a profound way, forcing Europeans to react. The
idea of a specifically European unity finally became, at least for
some, a feasible project, not only to avoid another war but to
avoid the destruction of the idea of European unity. This volume
reassesses the relationship between ideas of Europe and the
European project and reconsiders the impact of long and short-term
political transformations on assumptions about the continent's
scope, nature, role and significance.
