Fully revised and updated, this second edition explains why Britain did not become a founder member of the European Community in the 1950s, what motivated the French to prevent Britain from joining in the 1960s and why, since 1973, most British governments have found it hard to commit to a European future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Selected from the 1992 summer school of the Institute of Contemporary British History, 20 essays delve into why Britain, so quickly off the mark after World War II, has turned out to be among the last to join a unified Europe, and still remains a semi-detached member. They are arranged in sections on Britain's early vision of a united Europe, her search for a role from 1956 to 1973, and the awkward and often tense marriage since then.

Download or read book Britain and European Integration since 1945 written by David Gowland and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-10-30 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides both a comprehensive introduction and a perceptive examination of Britain’s relations with the European Community and the European Union since 1945, combining an historical account with political analysis to illustrate the changing and multifaceted nature of British and European politics. Few issues in British politics since 1945 have generated such heated controversy as Britain’s approach to the process of European integration associated with the European Union. The long-running debate on the subject has not only played a major part in the downfall of prime ministers and other leading political figures but has also exposed major fault-lines within governments and caused deep and rancorous divisions within and between the major political parties. This highly contested issue has given rise to bitter campaigning in the press and between pressure groups, and it has bemused, confused and divided the public at large. Key questions addressed include: Why has Europe had such an explosive impact on British politics? What impelled British policymakers to join the European Community and to undertake one of the radical, if not the most radical, changes in modern British history? What have been the perceived advantages and disadvantages of British membership of the European Union? Why has British membership of the European Union rarely attracted a national consensus? Engaging with both academic and public debates about Britain and the European Union, this volume is essential reading for all students of British history, British politics, and European politics.
Download or read book Britain and Europe Since 1945 written by Oliver J. Daddow and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2004-04-15 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important book offers a refreshing and challenging perspective on the nature of history by analyzing the character, role, functioning and wider uses of historiography. Taking British policies toward European integration since the Second World War as a case study, the author demonstrates how its interpretation and reportage over time is subject to changing trends. Seeking to explain these trends in terms of the different conceptions of the past which are maintained by different schools of writing, it forces us to confront the fundamental difficulties we encounter in undertaking studies in history. It draws attention to the impact on historical interpretation of changing times, political discourse, the opening of archives, and of subjects being brought to the fore by professional historians.

Download or read book Shaping Postwar Europe written by Peter M. R. Stirk and published by Burns & Oates. This book was released on 1991 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An international team examines the often neglected contexts of European unity, in which the hopes for integration and the difficulties involved are viewed from the political, economic and cultural limits of their success. The missed opportunities for integration in Eastern Europe are viewed in light of power politics, and American policy towards shaping Europe is discussed along with the pro- and anti-American stances adopted by Britain and Germany. The two most important considerations during the integration period, economic and strategic, are explored from British, Italian and Scandinavian perspectives, with Eastern Europe providing the base for an analysis of Comecon. Tensions between international (global) and pan-Euroepan forces provide the focus for a look at the historical origins of issues which are emerging as the political map of Europe is once again transformed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines Britain and Norway in Europe from 1945 through to the former's departure from the European Union in 2020. It compares their European relations and investigates their bilateral relationship within the contexts of security, trade and, above all, European integration. Britain and Norway are outsiders in Europe, and they have both been sceptical of the continental federalist approach to European integration. The question of membership itself has been highly controversial in both countries: the public has been divided on the issue; it has plagued political parties and governments; and prime ministers have resigned over European issues. This book explores why these countries have struggled so deeply with the idea of Europe since 1945, and looks ahead to how the relationship between Britain and Norway might develop after Brexit.
