Full Description

The issue of European integration has provoked some of the most heated and passionate debates in the British Parliament, government and media Since World War II. Britain and the Process of European Integration highlights the aspirations, myths, realities and key issues which shaped and guided policy towards European integration in the crucial years before Britain's eventual accession to the European Economic Community in 1973. Focusing on the international aspect of policy formation, Denise Dunne O'Hare analyses the impact that US presidents such as Eisenhower and Kennedy had on Britain's European policies, as well as the substantial role played by the French president de Gaulle. With an examination of the interplay between Britain's international, European and national interests, this book offers a vital resource for the study of British History, Politics and the European Union.
