This sequel to "The Reconstruction of Western Europe, 1945-51" gives the first detailed history of the early years of the European Community. On one level it is an original analysis of the forces which brought the EC together and of why Britain at first did not want to join, on another it is an explanation based on historical analysis of the future relationship between nation-state and Community. Milward argues that the evolution of the Community has been an integral part of the reassertion of the nation-state as an organizational unity. Combining political with economic analysis, and based on extensive primary research in several countries, this account offers a new and challenging interpretation of the history of the western European state and European integration.

"Reviews of the first edition: ."
"The enormity of what he has accomplished cannot be contested. Milward has produced a marvelously intelligent reappraisal that examines and analyzes Europe's affirmation of the nation-state as the cardinal organizing unit of mid-century society...mandatory reading for all interested scholars...no other book has given us as definitive an account or as compelling an interpretation as does Milward's prodigious feat of historical scholarship."
-"American Historical Review
"Well written, thought provoking."
-"New Statesman and Society
..."as a challenging study of the origins of supranational Europe in the economic sphere this will not easily be bettered."
-"German Politics
Alan S. Milward is Professor of Contemporary History at the European University Institute, Florence and official historian and Emeritus Professor at the London School of Economics.
