Reluctant Europeans

Britain and European Integration 1945-1998

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

An objective account of Britain's relations with continental Europe, and divided attitude to the processes of European integration, from postwar reconstruction to the present day. The authors adopt a jargon-free approach to cover the economic, financial and commercial dimensions of the story as well as its politics. Their clear chronological approach brings all these aspects into play together (gathering much widely-dispersed data, and using a wealth of newly-released material from the Macmillan and Heath eras) to clarify the changing patterns of this relationship. The result - for a multidisciplinary and general readership - illuminates the postwar history of Britain and Europe alike.
