This book argues that early European Commission officials envisaged
an integrated civil Europe from the outset. Largely overlooked is
the fact that between 1951 and 1972 there was a group of European
Commission (and before that the High Authority) officials who
wished to build a Civil Europe to sit alongside an economic and
political Europe. This Civil Europe was, it was hoped, to become
home to a European citizenry equipped with a European civil
consciousness that complemented their national and local loyalties.
To this end these officials pioneered a series of civil initiatives
designed to begin the process of building Civil Europe. This book
analyses three such civil initiatives: the building of the first
European School, the European Community's participation in Expo 58
and the production of the European Community's own documentaries.
From the start Europe was designed and conceived of in terms of a
European general civil public and not solely in terms dictated by
economic and political interests.
