Download or read book Building Europe written by Wilfried Loth and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2015-08-31 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Relying on internal sources, Wilfried Loth analyses the birth and subsequent development of the European Union, from the launch of the Council of Europe and the Schuman Declaration until the Euro crisis and the contested European presidential election of Jean-Claude Juncker. This book shines a light on the crises of the European integration, such as the failure of the European Defence Community, De Gaulle’s empty chair policy, or the rejection of the European Constitution in France and the Netherlands, but also highlights the indubitable successes that are the Franco-German reconciliation, the establishment of the European common market, and the establishment of an expanding common currency. What this study accomplishes, for the first time, is to illuminate the driving forces behind the European integration process and how it changed European politics and society. “An enlightening work. Arequired reading for all who doubt the unfinished history of Europe.” – Rolf Steininger, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. “This book will become an indispensable standard work.” – Jörg Himmelreich, Neue Zürcher Zeitung.

Download or read book German Unification in European Perspective written by Wolfgang Heisenberg and published by Brassey's (UK) Limited. This book was released on 1991 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new powerhouse now sits at the heart of Europe. The German nation of 80 million people must overcome the difficulties of rapid unification if it is to fulfil its potential, and the immediate problems of absorbing 16 million East Germans into the European Community are being watched and analyzed with great care. The success or failure of the unification will be felt by all the key players both economically and politically, and the experiences gained from managing such radical changes are seen as models, particularly by the emerging democracies of Eastern Europe. Accordingly, German experience, finance and technology have a central role to play in the reshaping of Europe, and the decisions and actions made now will bring about great changes with far-reaching consequences in the structure of both the EC and Europe as a whole as the 21st century approaches.

Download or read book Progress Toward the Unification of Europe written by Helena Tang and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ten countries of Central and Eastern Europe and the Baltic (CEECs) are candidates to join an enlarged European Union (EU) in the years to come. The ten are Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, the Slovak Republic and Slovenia. This enlargement will bring many opportunities to the both the EU and the candidate countries. For the EU it will bring enhanced weight and influence. For the candidate countries it should mean an improvement of their long term growth prospects by providing access to an open single market. The accession process is providing the impetus for the acceleration of much needed economic, political, institutional and social reforms in some of the CEECs as they strive to meet EU membership requirements. The key for the CEECs is to achieve sustained, high long-term growth in order to meet their ultimate objective of accession. The EU has already concluded agreements with the CEECs which went beyond the narrowly conceived ideas of market access to include the alignment of the CEEC economic system with that of the EU's. This report sets out the future agenda for the successful integration of the CEECs into an enlarged EU. The first priority is for each country to complete its own process of transition to a free market democratic state. In short this will mean that many will have to address: their fiscal challenges, and ensure fiscal sustainability; the challenge of global financial integration, opening of their capital accounts; the strengthening of their administrative capacity; the reduction of unemployment; and the promotion of social inclusion.
Download or read book The United States and Europe in the Twentieth Century written by David Ryan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-02-17 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship between the US and Europe in the 20th century is one of the key considerations in any understanding of international relations/international history during this period. David Ryan first sets the context by looking at the trends and traditions of America’s foreign relations in the 19th century, and then considers the changing nature of America's vision of Europe from 1900 to the present. The book examines America’s response to and involvement in the two World Wars, including the structure of international power after the First World War and American reaction to the rise of Nazi Germany. American/European relations during the Cold War (1945-1970) are discussed, and Ryan considers the contentious debate that America was trying to establish an empire by invitation. Finally, the book looks at the ever-increasing unification of Europe and how this has affected America's role and influence.
