State-building in Europe: The Revitalization of Western European Integration

by Volker Bornschier (Editor)

The relaunch of European integration in the 1980s and 1990s will affect profoundly the continent's course in the twenty-first century. The European Commission, bureaucratic cabinets, national diplomats, transnational companies, pressure groups and representatives of the regions have set in motion a process that is changing statehood in Europe dramatically. Based on more than thirty interviews with EU commissioners, managers of European transnational companies and national diplomats, this volume is a valuable contribution to the debate on the future of Europe in the world system.
