An illuminating and comprehensive exploration of a subject which has dominated the British political scene for much of the period since the Second World War. Through a wide and varied collection of documents, complemented by detailed and perceptive analysis, this book explores Britain's reactions to the dynamics of European integration. Key subjects covered include; European unity and "missed opportunities" in the early post-war years the Commonwealth dimension and the "special relationship" Britain's belated attempts to join the EC in the 1960s the singlecurrency Many of its numerous sources are made widely accessible here for the first time. It is an invaluable resource for all students of Politics, Modern British History and European Studies.
This book provides both a comprehensive introduction and a
perceptive examination of Britain's relations with the European
Community and the European Union since 1945, combining an
historical account with political analysis to illustrate the
changing and multifaceted nature of British and European politics.
Few issues in British politics since 1945 have generated such
heated controversy as Britain's approach to the process of European
integration associated with the European Union. The long-running
debate on the subject has not only played a major part in the
downfall of prime ministers and other leading political figures but
has also exposed major fault-lines within governments and caused
deep and rancorous divisions within and between the major political
parties. This highly contested issue has given rise to bitter
campaigning in the press and between pressure groups, and it has
bemused, confused and divided the public at large. Key questions
addressed include: Why has Europe had such an explosive impact on
British politics? What impelled British policymakers to join the
European Community and to undertake one of the radical, if not the
most radical, changes in modern British history? What have been the
perceived advantages and disadvantages of British membership of the
European Union? Why has British membership of the European Union
rarely attracted a national consensus? Engaging with both academic
and public debates about Britain and the European Union, this
volume is essential reading for all students of British history,
British politics, and European politics.

In the Bible we learn that God has promised 'seasons of refreshing'
if His people will humble themselves and pray for spiritual
awakening. This Prayer Guide-which consists of a compilation of

Awakenings have changed America's spiritual climate, brought
millions of lost souls into the Kingdom of God, and transformed the
marketplace.
