Relying on internal sources, Wilfried Loth analyses the birth and
subsequent development of the European Union, from the launch of
the Council of Europe and the Schuman Declaration until the Euro
crisis and the contested European presidential election of
Jean-Claude Juncker. This book shines a light on the crises of the
European integration, such as the failure of the European Defence
Community, De Gaulle's empty chair policy, or the rejection of the
European Constitution in France and the Netherlands, but also
highlights the indubitable successes that are the Franco-German
reconciliation, the establishment of the European common market,
and the establishment of an expanding common currency. What this
study accomplishes, for the first time, is to illuminate the
driving forces behind the European integration process and how it
changed European politics and society. "An enlightening work. A
required reading for all who doubt the unfinished history of
Europe." - Rolf Steininger, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. "This
book will become an indispensable standard work." - Joerg
Himmelreich, Neue Zurcher Zeitung.
