Britain's 1961 application was the first time that the European
Community was obliged to consider a membership application from one
of its neighbours. This 1997 book, based on material from the
archives, challenges traditional views of the British application
and casts light on the way in which the EEC responded to the
challenge of enlargement. The author explains the initial inability
of de Gaulle to oppose British membership, and draws attention to
the hesitant and conditional nature of Britain's application. In
combination these two factors ensured that the sixteen months of
negotiations, and the balance the Six struck between their
conflicting desires to widen and to deepen the Community, became
crucial to the outcome of the UK's membership bid. This book
provides a detailed analysis of a vital chapter in postwar European
history, and offers important insights into differing conceptions
of the European Community which persist in contemporary debates.
