Major new study of the role of European Christian democratic
parties in the making of the European Union. It radically
re-conceptualises European integration in long-term historical
perspective as the outcome of partisan competition of political
ideologies and parties and their guiding ideas for the future of
Europe. Wolfram Kaiser takes a comparative approach to political
Catholicism in the nineteenth century, Catholic parties in interwar
Europe and Christian democratic parties in postwar Europe and
studies these parties??? cross-border contacts and coordination of
policy-making. He shows how well networked party elites ensured
that the origins of European Union were predominately Christian
democratic, with considerable repercussions for the present-day EU.
The elites succeeded by intensifying their cross-border
communication and coordinating their political tactics and policy
making in government. This is a major contribution to the new
transnational history of Europe and the history of European
integration.
