Items related to The European Rescue of the Nation-State
The first detailed history of the origins of the European Community, this is the sequel and companion to The Reconstruction of Western Europe, 1945-51. In arguing that the purpose of European Community policies was not to supercede but to reinforce the nation-state, Alan Milward's original and controversial study cuts through accepted orthodoxies on a topic of immense importance today.
Using material from archives in eight countries, Milward examines the European coal, iron, and steel community; the origins of the Economic Community; and the beginnings of the Common Agricultural Policy. He concludes with a study of why Great Britain has remained outside these arrangements. A combination of political and economic analysis, this book provides challenging insights into the background and the future of the European Community.

-"American Historical Review
"Well written, thought provoking."
-"New Statesman and Society
