This book outlines the possibilities and perspectives of an
intertwining of European integration historiography with the
history and concept of capitalism. Although debates on capitalism
have been making a comeback since the 2008 crisis, to date the
concept of capitalism remains almost completely avoided by
historians of European integration. This book thus conceptualizes
'capitalism' as a useful analytical tool that should be used by
historians of European integration and proposes three major
approaches for them to do so: first, by bringing the question of
social conflict, integral to the concept of capitalism, into
European integration history; second, by better conceptualizing the
link between European governance, Europeanization and the
globalization of capitalism; and thirdly by investigating the
economic, political and ideological models or doctrines that
underlie European cooperation, integration, policies and
institutions. This analytical encounter between European
integration history and capitalism allows for a better
understanding of how today's "Europe" resulted from a complex
social, economic and political conflict that took place in part at
the European level. The chapters in this book were originally
published as a special issue of the journal, the European Review of
History.
Enlargement has been an almost constant part of European
integration history - going from an improvised exercise to the EU's
most developed foreign policy tool. However, neither the longevity
nor the complexity of enlargement has been properly historicised.
European Enlargement across Rounds and Beyond Borders offers three
interdisciplinary, innovative, and indeed radical, new ways of
understanding and analysing EC/EU enlargements: first, tracing
Longue Duree developments; second, investigating enlargement Beyond
the Road to Membership; and third, exploring the Entangled
Exchanges and synergies between the EC/EU and its outside. This
edited volume will provide fresh perspectives on enlargement as one
of the defining processes in Europe in the second half of the 20th
century: How are we to understand enlargement as a policy? How has
it changed the EU? What is the historical role of the British press
in shaping the UK's visions of Europe? How has enlargement played
into Russia's relationship with today's EU? Giving answers to these
questions, and many more, this volume wishes to spark a broad
debate about the roots, range, and repercussions of enlargement,
and how historians, and other scholars, should engage with it. This
publication will be of key interest to scholars and students of
modern European history and politics, the European integration
process, EU studies, and more broadly multilateral international
institutions, history, law and the social sciences.

The League of Nations – Perspectives from the Present is an
accessible and richly illustrated edited volume displaying a wide
variety of cutting-edge research on the many ways the League of
Nations shaped its times and continues to shape our contemporary
world. A series of bite-size studies, divided into three thematic
parts, investigates how the League affected the world around it and
the lives of the people became part of this ‘first great
experiment’ in international organisation. Recent research has
reinterpreted the League as a laboratory of global economic,
political and humanitarian governance. Expanding on this, the
volume aims to show that the League is an ‘academic site’,
where international history – as a discipline – has re-invented
itself by integrating new approaches from social, cultural and
media history. With an introduction by Director-General Michael
Møller of the United Nations Organisation in Geneva, this work is
a timely reminder of the fragile, varied and enduring history of
multilateralism, on the centenary of the signing of the Treaty of
Versailles.
