Contents:
Frontmatter -- Contents -- Editorial Preface -- Introduction. European Integration: Success through Crises -- 1 Sources of European Integration: The Meaning of Failed Interwar Politics and the Role of World War II -- 2 The Failure of EDC and European Integration -- 3 The Institutional Paradox: How Crises Have Reinforced European Integration -- 4 Through Crises to EMU: Perspectives for Fiscal Union and Political Union -- 5 Opportunity or Overstretch? The Unexpected Dynamics of Deepening and Widening -- 6 Learning from Failure: The Evolution of the EU’s Foreign, Security and Defense Policy in the Course of the Yugoslav Crisis -- 7 Challenges and Opportunities: Surmounting Integration Crises in Historical Context -- 8 Frontiers and Chances for the European Union -- Select Bibliography -- Notes on Contributors -- Index
Summary: While the major trends in European integration have been well researched and constitute key elements of narratives about its value and purpose, the crises of integration and their effects have not yet attracted sufficient attention. This volume, with original contributions by leading German scholars, suggests that crises of integration should be seen as engines of progress throughout the history of European integration rather than as expressions of failure and regression, a widely held assumption. It therefore throws new light on the current crises in European integration and provides a fascinating panorama of how challenges and responses were guiding the process during its first five decades.
