Exploring the politics of European integration, Michael Baun argues
that the end of the Cold War and German unification have created a
new set of geopolitical realities in Europe that have profoundly
affected the nature and dynamics of European union. His primary
focus is the "high politics" of European integration after 1989,
especially the role of the Franco-German relationship in the
Maastricht Treaty process.Acknowledging the important roots of the
treaty in economic and institutional developments prior to 1989,
Baun argues that Maastricht principally can be understood as a
response by the EU and its member states to German unification and
the end of the cold war. In making this argument, he departs from
more conventional neofunctionalist or institutionalist
interpretations of European integration.After providing the
historical background of developments before 1989, Baun weighs the
decision to launch parallel intergovernmental conferences on
monetary and political union in 1990 and describes in detail the
negotiations and treaty outcomes in each of these areas. He then
examines the difficult ratification of the Maastricht treaty in
1992-1993, in the face of growing popular opposition and economic
and monetary instability. The book concludes with an analysis of
the future prospects for European union in the post-Maastricht era,
as the EU approaches its next major intergovernmental conference in
1996.
