Details

The European Union celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2017, but celebrations were muted by Brexit and a general sense of a crisis of conscience.

However, as this seminal work shows, the history and ambition of the European Union is considerable. Written by key stakeholders who, between them, acted as architects, adjudicators and arbitrators of the project, it presents the definitive history of the first two generations of the European Union.

The birth and the consolidation of the great project of a united Europe and the political, institutional, judicial and economical frameworks of the European Union: from the process towards integration, to the advancements and the impasses in building a political union.
