Major 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 co-ordination 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.
