This book explores the most important components and contributing
factors to the European integration process during the 1950s. It
seeks to combine comparative politics and political history to
examine core themes such as war experience, national security,
military security, economic security, societal security, and
research and education in three major European countries, i.e.
France, Germany, and Britain. It analyses the references to the
ensuing European integration process in national parliamentary
debates, analyzing which national needs were thought European
integration could cater to, but also which national positions were
seen as being compromised by a closer European commitment. The
development of a national position on European integration and in
turn the evolution of European concepts are considered by using
discourse theory on parliamentary debates in France, Germany, and
Britain. Parliamentary discourses are shown to be an ideal source
for analyzing grand themes, such as European integration, because
they cover all fundamental ideas; they have to be public and
open-ended deliberations which in turn determined the position of
each country towards European integration. The great variety of
positions reflected in the parliamentary discourse, in particular
those which did not prevail and which did not find their way into
the commonly accepted historical storyline of European integration,
provide a greater comprehensiveness and a better understanding of
the history of the European integration process.
