Abstract

The world's greatest importer and exporter, the European Union is an economic superpower with a GDP even larger than th US.

Featuring the most up-to-date assessment of the EU, its inner workings, external relations, and likely future development, this is the perfect introduction for anyone seeking to better understand European integration an

Abstract

The European Union has undergone major changes in the last decade, including Treaty reform, and a significant expansion of activity in foreign and security policy, and justice and home affairs. In the first edition of this influential textbook, a team of leading lawyers and political scientists reflected upon the important developments in their chosen area over the time since the EC was formed. This new edition continues this analysis ten years on. Taking into account the social and political background, and without losing sight of the changes that came before, in each chapter the contributors analyze the principle themes and assess the legal and political forces that have shaped its development. Each author addresses a specific topic, event, or theme, from the European Court of Justice to Treaty reform; the enlargement of the EU to administrative law; the effect of EU law on culture to climate change. Together the chapters tell the story of the rapid development of EU law - its past, present, and future.

Abstract

Following the Fontainebleau relaunch in 1984 and then the arrival of Jacques Delors, who was able to rely on a reinvigorated relationship between Germany and France, the process of European integration accelerated, with the Commission playing a leading role. Three large-scale projects were launched under Jacques Delors: completion of the internal market; economic and monetary union; and opening upthe EU to the countries of central and eastern Europe after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Under Jacques Santer and Romano Prodi the Commission took care to complete these projects or ensure their continuity, leading the preparatory negotiations on the establishment of EMU and the greatest enlargement in the European Union’s history, efforts to deepen the Community and discussions on European governance with a view to future accessions. New treaties were signed, substantially increasing the Community’s powers. However, difficulties with the ratification of the Maastricht Treaty also showed that the public had still to be convinced and that better public communication and information were needed. A total of 52 academics and researchers from more than 30 universities and research centres in Europe, the United States and around 15 countries took part in the drafting of this work. The authors had access to new Commission archives, and many witnesses to the events, former officials, Commissioners and Presidents of the Commission were interviewed. These new sources, both oral and written, constituted a wealth of documentation that enabled the researchers to shed new light on the work of the Commission between 1986 and 2000. A similar project has already led to the publication of two other works, the first dedicated to the years 1958-1972 and the second to the 1973-1986 period. This work is the third volume of a series, the first of which, The European Commission, 1958-72 — History and memories of an institution, was published in 2007, and the second, The European Commission 1973-86 — History and memories of an institution, in 2014. It is the result of a tender launched by the Commission, inviting a focus on the years between 1986 and 2000.

Abstract

L’Europe se construit. Depuis un demi-siècle, pas à pas, un nouvel environnement économique, un nouvel espace géographique, une nouvelle entité politique se dessinent. Parmi les lieux de mémoire dédiés à l’histoire récente de l’Europe, la Fondation Jean Monnet, à Lausanne, possède un certain nombre d’archives permettant de suivre, de mieux comprendre à travers des textes rares comment l’idée d’union européenne s’est retrempée au fil des années, y compris avant et pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Ses documents sont le noyau de l’ensemble que nous proposons. Les textes présentés dans ce volume essaient de donner un autre éclairage sur la « mécanique européenne ». L’angle choisi permet de montrer que la construction de l’Europe moderne ne fut pas forcément « technocratique », mais que, comme tout projet singulier, elle est le résultat de tâtonnements, d’hésitations, de conflits souvent aujourd’hui oubliés, et aussi d’un élan réel.
