Synopsis

From post-war debates on institutionalised cooperation in Western Europe to the ambitions of the European Union in the post-Cold War era, this volume investigates the impact of transnational socialist networks on European construction and integration, as well as the role of European socialism in international (dis-)orders. It explores how socialist networks were influenced by relations with socialist parties and groups outside Europe, and how they navigated local, national and global politics.
