Download or read book Penser et construire l'Europe au XXe siècle written by Jean-Michel Guieu and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La recherche historique récente a permis de renouveler profondément notre connaissance de l'histoire de l'unification européenne. La mise en relation de l'Europe-idée ("penser l'Europe ") avec l'Europe-construction ("construire l'Europe ") sur la période allant de la paix de Versailles (1919) à la création de l'Union européenne actuelle par le Traité de Maastricht (1992), permet d'échapper à une approche demeurée trop longtemps factuelle et institutionnelle, et cantonnée aux seules réalisations de l'après 1945. Cet ouvrage présente d'abord les différentes approches historiographiques de la question et propose une sélection commentée des travaux les plus récents. Il s'attache ensuite à décrypter les principaux enjeux du sujet : les cycles de la construction européenne, les modalités de promotion et de réception du projet européen, les différents modèles d'Europe ayant présidé aux réflexions et réalisations européennes, ainsi que les rapports de l'Europe en voie d'intégration avec les autres continents.

Book Synopsis L'Europe en construction by : Elisabeth Du Réau
Download or read book L'Europe en construction written by Elisabeth Du Réau and published by Hachette Supérieur. This book was released on 2007 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La chute du mur de Berlin, le 9 novembre 1989, et la dislocation de l'Union soviétique en décembre 1991 marquent la fin de l'affrontement des deux blocs qui régissaient le monde et offrent à l'Europe en train de se construire des conditions nouvelles de développement. Comment interpréter les profondes mutations qui affectent le continent européen ? Cet ouvrage apporte des analyses précieuses à ceux qui s'interrogent sur le devenir de l'Union européenne. Proposant une lecture plurielle et originale du passé récent, les auteurs mettent en perspective les facteurs de continuité et de rupture de l'histoire européenne et dégagent les grandes étapes de sa construction, les objectifs et les motivations des principaux acteurs. Les conditions de son élargissement à l'Est, examinées avec une attention particulière, illustrent parfaitement le propos que tenait le 15 mai 1996 Vaclav Havel, alors président de la République tchèque : "L'Union européenne représente une tentative sans précédent de faire de l'Europe un espace unique démocratique et solidaire." L'Europe aura-t-elle les moyens de cette noble ambition ?
Download or read book Europe in Crisis written by Mark Hewitson and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2012 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The period between 1917 and 1957, starting with the birth of the USSR and the American intervention in the First World War and ending with the Treaty of Rome, is of the utmost importance for contextualizing and understanding the intellectual origins of the European Community. During this time of 'crisis,' many contemporaries, especially intellectuals, felt they faced a momentous decision which could bring about a radically different future. The understanding of what Europe was and what it should be was questioned in a profound way, forcing Europeans to react. The idea of a specifically European unity finally became, at least for some, a feasible project, not only to avoid another war but to avoid the destruction of the idea of European unity. This volume reassesses the relationship between ideas of Europe and the European project and reconsiders the impact of long and short-term political transformations on assumptions about the continent's scope, nature, role and significance.
Book Synopsis Engineering European Unity by : Éva Bóka
Download or read book Engineering European Unity written by Éva Bóka and published by Central European University Press. This book was released on 2022-11-30 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Which European and non-European ideas and practices facilitated the shaping of European unity? Or rather, which pursuits led to deadlocks in the cooperation between states? The book seeks answers to these questions by surveying the historical attempts at realizing supranational patterns of governance in Europe since the Middle Ages. The main focus is on the nineteenth and twentieth century organizational models of European unification. The analysis draws on an abundance of historical and legal source material. While the author encourages critical thinking about European integration, the exploration is admittedly based on specific values. Éva Bóka claims that the struggle for the humanization of power with its democratic creative force has been the major driver in the development of the system of liberties and the idea of European unity. The analysis of the historical process up to the Lisbon Treaty (2007) with the recognition of common, shared, and supported competences meets the author’s set of values to a great extent. The last part of the book examines whether the European Union can serve as a political and economic organizational model for other parts of the world.
Book Synopsis Regional Integration and Modernity by : Natalie J. Doyle
Download or read book Regional Integration and Modernity written by Natalie J. Doyle and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2014-09-26 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a new framework for comparing experiences of integration: regionalization must be reinterpreted as an aspect of modernization, modernization unfolding also at the local, national and global levels. The contributors discuss how and why the different visions of modernity that inform modernization projects encouraged the construction (or rejection) of regional integration, at different times and in different places. It starts with an analysis of plans for the economic integration of Europe in the aftermath of World War I. It shows how integration was identified as the means to modernize the region with a view to helping it overcome political fragmentation and adapt to new conditions of global capitalism. It then turns to the debate on modernization unfolding in the era that constituted the formative period of integration for both Europe and Latin America. It analyses examples of the complex interaction between these two different experiences, as it extends into the present. Finally, it looks at the social and political actors that promoted integration in the two regions and at the discourse they formulated to do so.

Book Synopsis Social Europe, the Road Not Taken by : Aurélie Dianara Andry
Download or read book Social Europe, the Road Not Taken written by Aurélie Dianara Andry and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022-11-06 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the European Left's attempt to think and give shape to an alternative type of European integration-a 'social Europe'-during the long 1970s. Based on fresh archival material, it shows that the western European Left-in particular social democratic parties, trade unions, and to a lesser extent 'Eurocommunist' parties-formulated a project to turn 'capitalist Europe' into a 'workers' Europe'. This project favoured coordinated measures for wealth redistribution, market regulation, a democratisation of the economy and of European institutions, upward harmonisation of social and fiscal systems, more inclusive welfare regimes, guaranteed employment, economic and social planning with greater consideration for the environment, increased public spending to meet collective needs, greater control of capital flows and multinational corporations, a reduction in working time, and a fairer international economic order favouring the global south. During the pivotal years following 1968, deeply marked by labour militancy, new social movements, economic crisis, and the unmaking of the 'postwar compromise', a window of opportunity opened in which European integration could have taken different roads. The defeat of 'social Europe' was a result of a decade-long social conflict which ended with the affirmation of a neoliberal Europe. Investigating this forgotten struggle and the reasons of its defeat can be useful not just to scholars and students eager to understand the historical evolution of European integration, the European Left, and European capitalism, but also to anyone interested in building alternative European and global futures.
Book Synopsis Black France, White Europe by : Emily Marker
Download or read book Black France, White Europe written by Emily Marker and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2022-10-15 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black France, White Europe illuminates the deeply entangled history of European integration and African decolonization. Emily Marker maps the horizons of belonging in postwar France as leaders contemplated the inclusion of France's old African empire in the new Europe-in-the-making. European integration intensified longstanding structural contradictions of French colonial rule in Africa: Would Black Africans and Black African Muslims be French? If so, would they then also be European? What would that mean for republican France and united Europe more broadly? Marker examines these questions through the lens of youth, amid a surprising array of youth and education initiatives to stimulate imperial renewal and European integration from the ground up. She explores how education reforms and programs promoting solidarity between French and African youth collided with transnational efforts to make young people in Western Europe feel more European. She connects a particular postwar vision for European unity—which coded Europe as both white and raceless, Christian and secular—to crucial decisions about what should be taught in African classrooms and how many scholarships to provide young Africans to study and train in France. That vision of Europe also informed French responses to African student activism for racial and religious equality, which ultimately turned many young francophone Africans away from France irrevocably. Black France, White Europe shows that the interconnected history of colonial and European youth initiatives is key to explaining why, despite efforts to strengthen ties with its African colonies in the 1940s and 1950s, France became more European during those years.
Book Synopsis Creating a United Europe of Football by : Philippe Vonnard
Download or read book Creating a United Europe of Football written by Philippe Vonnard and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-04-21 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a historical study of the beginnings of the UEFA, demonstrating how the formation of the organisation was linked to the decentralisation experienced by FIFA, the world governing body of football. Vonnard examines why administrators created an association that transcended the barriers of the Cold War, and focused on the development of a network that promoted football outside the constraints of international politics. Finally, he emphasises the role UEFA played in the Europeanisation of the people’s game, and in the early years of the European integration process. The research is based on a rich body of new archival material from the UEFA and FIFA Documentation Centres, and various European football federations, as well as reports from a number of leading newspapers of the era, and interviews with football personalities of the 1950s. It will be of interest to students and scholars across the history of sport, international relations, and European studies
Book Synopsis Les trajectoires de l'innovation technologique et la construction européenne by : Christophe Bouneau
Download or read book Les trajectoires de l'innovation technologique et la construction européenne written by Christophe Bouneau and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2010 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le processus d'intégration européenne a été interconnecté avec science et technologie seulement apparemment au cours de la dernière décennie. Au contraire, dès les années 1950 les États membres de la CEE et ses potentiels candidats ont été engagés dans différents projets et tentatives de coopération dans les secteurs de la science et la technologie. Les gouvernements nationaux non seulement choisirent la voie intergouvernementale, mais ils essayèrent de profiter du cadre communautaire. Ces tentatives ont produit d'autres projets débattus au niveau de la CEE sur la standardisation de l'automobile ou sur l'énergie nucléaire et les solutions à crise pétrolière, la coopération européenne a été expérimentée avec succès dans d'autres secteurs mais non seulement dans le « berceau » communautaire, tels que l'aéronautique ou les réseaux électriques. Ces expériences et débats sur la construction européenne techno-scientifique ont été confrontés à la compétition transatlantique, et même à celle intra-européenne. En tous cas, comme les plus récents développements semblent prouver, l'Union européenne est destinée à jouer un rôle d'innovateur technologique. Grâce à une approche historique transnationale et interdisciplinaire, serions-nous capables de suggérer quel rôle, et selon quelles trajectoires ? Ostensibly the European integration process has been interconnected with science and technology only in the last decade. On the other hand, since the 1950s EEC member states and would-be members have been engaged in several projects and attempts to cooperate in science and technology. National governments not only chose the intergovernmental way, but also they tried to take advantage of the communitarian framework. These attempts produced some successes inside the EEC including the European Commission's framework programme. Appart from some projects discussed at EEC level on automobile standardisation, nuclear energy and supplies during oil crisis, European cooperation in aircraft or electric power was successfully experimented but outside the communitarian networks. These experiences and debates on a European techno-scientific construction encountered competition from across the Atlantic as well as within Europe. As the most recent developments seem to prove, the European Union has to play a role of technological innovator. Thanks to a transnational and interdisciplinary historical approach, are we able to suggest which role, and by which trends?
Book Synopsis How the EU Really Works by : Olivier Costa
Download or read book How the EU Really Works written by Olivier Costa and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-29 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European Union is facing a profound crisis and is confronted with multiple challenges. Over the last two decades, it has experienced a series of dramatic changes to its powers, its institutional design, its constitutional framework and its borders. At the same time, the uneasy relationship between European citizens and elites has complicated both the reform and the function of the Union. While the Lisbon treaty provided some answers to crucial questions, it did not clarify the nature of the EU, which remains at the crossroads of federal and intergovernmental logic. The current economic and financial crisis puts the EU’s legitimacy further under pressure and creates the impression of a turning point. This book provides a concise analysis of the EU and its dynamics by paying particular attention to its day to day operation. It aims to help students and scholars understand its evolution, its institutions, its decision-making and the interactions between the EU and various actors. Avoiding abstract theorizing, the authors propose an easy to read analysis of how the Union works while recognizing the complexity of the situation. Throughout the book, the key issues of European integration are addressed: democratic deficit, politicization, the role of member states, institutional crisis and citizen involvement.
Book Synopsis Les identités européennes au XXe siècle by : Robert Frank
Download or read book Les identités européennes au XXe siècle written by Robert Frank and published by Publications de la Sorbonne. This book was released on 2004 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce livre se veut un bilan des travaux d'un réseau international de cent quatre-vingts chercheurs qui ont participé à un programme de recherche sur le thème « Identités et conscience européennes au XXe siècle ». Dix chapitres s'interrogent sur l'étonnant paradoxe de la fin du XXe siècle, entre l'accélération de la construction de l'Europe, considérée par tous comme irréversible, et la faiblesse relative du sentiment européen, le « déficit d'imaginaire » qui l'accompagne. Ils s'attachent à cerner les rapports divers, ambivalents, parfois convergents entre identité européenne et identités nationales, entre identité européenne et identité « occidentale ». En abordant les milieux (cercles économiques, élites, intellectuels...) et leurs mécanismes identitaires, de même que les vecteurs de l'identité (mémoire, phénomènes religieux, institutions...), les auteurs montrent combien la construction de l'Europe s'insère dans des équilibres identitaires qu'elle contribue aussi à créer.

Book Synopsis A Europe Made of Money by : Emmanuel Mourlon-Druol
Download or read book A Europe Made of Money written by Emmanuel Mourlon-Druol and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2012-07-11 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Europe Made of Money is a new history of the making of the European Monetary System (EMS), based on extensive archive research. Emmanuel Mourlon-Druol highlights two long-term processes in the monetary and economic negotiations in the decade leading up to the founding of the EMS in 1979. The first is a transnational learning process involving a powerful, networked European monetary elite that shaped a habit of cooperation among technocrats. The second stresses the importance of the European Council, which held regular meetings between heads of government beginning in 1974, giving EEC legitimacy to monetary initiatives that had previously involved semisecret and bilateral negotiations. The interaction of these two features changed the EMS from a fairly trivial piece of administrative business to a tremendously important political agreement. The inception of the EMS was greeted as one of the landmark achievements of regional cooperation, a major leap forward in the creation of a unified Europe. Yet Mourlon-Druol's account stresses that the EMS is much more than a success story of financial cooperation. The technical suggestions made by its architects reveal how state elites conceptualized the larger project of integration. And their monetary policy became a marker for the conception of European identity. The unveiling of the EMS, Mourlon-Druol concludes, represented the convergence of material interests and symbolic, identity-based concerns.
Book Synopsis Building a European Public Sphere / Un Espace Public Européen en Construction by : Robert Frank
Download or read book Building a European Public Sphere / Un Espace Public Européen en Construction written by Robert Frank and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2010 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book edited by four known specialists of European history presents for the first time a discussion among European historians on the European public sphere since the 1950s. It treats the general perspective and deals also in special articles with the role played by the European Union, by the Council of Europe, and by national media such as television and film. The volume shows that the role of the European public sphere is often underestimated and that it is gradually becoming more influential and forceful not only in politics, but also in culture. Sous la direction de quatre spécialistes renommés de l'histoire européenne, cet ouvrage présente de façon inédite un débat entre historiens de l'Europe sur l'espace public européen et son évolution depuis les années 1950. La question est abordée dans son ensemble, mais certaines contributions traitent aussi plus spécifiquement du rôle joué par l'Union européenne, par le Conseil de l'Europe, et par les médias nationaux, comme la télévision et le cinéma. Ce volume montre que l'on a souvent sous-estimé l'espace public européen, alors que son influence est de plus en plus importante, tant au niveau politique que culturel.
