The Making of the European Union argues that the process of
European integration has drifted into serious crisis, perhaps the
most serious since the Danes voted against the Treaty of the
European Union in 1992. French and Dutch voters blatantly rejected
the Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe in the summer of
2005, thus freezing the constitutional process for at least a year.
The outcome of these referenda indicates that the views and
attitudes of average Europeans have not been sufficiently listened
to.Analysing the conditions for European integration, this book
applies a citizens' or 'bottom-up' perspective on the integration
process. The difficulties that the constitutional process has
encountered illustrate the relevance of bringing public opinion
into the analysis of the prospects for European integration. The
book describes and analyses the historical, mental, intellectual,
and attitudinal denominators of European integration, denominators
that have shaped the processes so far and will continue to do so in
the future. The authors apply a broad comparative perspective,
where European nation-states constitute the primary units of
analysis. The focus is on the foundations of European integration,
public views about the EU, including various shades of
Euroscepticism, and the long-term prospects of the EU. This is a
fascinating and penetrating look at the EU and will therefore
appeal to a wide audience including scholars and researchers in the
social sciences - particularly political science, comparative
politics and European studies. The book will also be of great
interest to journalists and all those involved in the EU, including
policy makers and civil servants throughout the EU itself.
