Examining such issues as the welfare state, the politics of unemployment and government-industry relations, this work looks at the developments in western European politics up to and during the 1980s.

Politics in Western Europe Today

History

Americas

Routledge

(The period since 1945 has seen political events and socio-economic developments of enormous significance for the human race. This series explores these developments. The impact of the European Community upon governments and citizens, both in the EEC itself and in the world beyond, is growing. Moreover the concept of a wider Europe has become a significant political factor in the postwar world. Derek Urwin traces the movement towards political and economic integration in Western Europe from the calls for a federal Europe that were made by the European Resistance movements and their immediate postwar successors, through to the demands that are now heard for complete monetary and partial political union. It reviews the postwar debates over the kind of integration desired and also examines the history of the European Community after 1957)

A Political History of Western Europe Since 1945

Taking a thematic approach, Derek Urwin addresses the major political and economic developments in western Europe since World War II, right up to the present day. The book covers issues and developments in national politics, and the movement towards greater unity in Western Europe and the role of Europe in global politics and in the international economy. The text has been revised throughout and updated to take account of the political consequences of the ending of the Cold War and the troubled progress of European integration since Maastricht. The Fifth Edition has lost nothing of its predecessor's clarity and accessibility and in its updated form will win the book a host of new admirers.

Western Europe Since 1945: A Short Political History

Longman Publishing Group

The modern international organization is a European invention. The fragmented nature of the continent, with national boundaries shifting over time, was always paralleled by interactions between states. In the twentieth century the historical format of treaties and military alliances was supplemented by organizations for economic collaboration and associations working for greater political cooperation and even unity. Despite, or perhaps because of, the bipolarization of Europe during the Cold War, the number of organizations mushroomed after 1945. Yet the picture has not just been one of constant increase: increasing complexity has occurred within an ongoing process of change. With the ending of the Cold War the rate of change has increased: long-established institutions have had to reconsider their purpose and reason for existence, new groupings of states have emerged. With several hundred entries this work offers an introduction to the complex and changing world of European international organizations. It outlines and disaggregates into their several different structures and activities the major institutional actors such as the European Community and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, as well as providing information on numerous lesser-known bodies that rarely make the world's headlines. The institutional information is supplemented by accounts of major events and activities and descriptions of individuals who have been influential in shaping the international organizations. A chronology of events will aid the reader to fil the factual description into an overview of what happened when, a list of acronyms offers a guide to the complexity of organizations, and a thematically-structured bibliography provides a guide to further reading.

The Community of Europe (The Postwar World)

This hugely successful history of political and economic integration in Western Europe since the Second World War -- and especially, but by no means exclusively, the European Community itself -- was first published in 1991, to general acclaim. Since then much turbulent water has flowed under the bridges of Maastricht and Strasbourg. Now, in this welcome Second Edition, Derek Urwin has brought the story fully up to date, with an account of developments since 1991 and an assessment of the mood and prospects of Europe and the Community today.
