European Integration: From Community to Union

"European Community Integration" is a reappraisal of the state of Community integration. The events of 1989/90 in Eastern Europe, the continuing interest by non-member states in full membership, as well as the new thrust for economic and political union developed by President Delors, have all combined to promote a new, deeper phase of Community integration. The book re-examines the broad thematic ideas of Jean Monnet and applies these to the Europe of the 1990s. The question of a federal community acts as the organizing principle of the volume. Amidst continuing controversy within member states over European integration, an objective and scholarly reassessment of the pros and cons of enlargement should be useful.
