1 total work
In "Building European Union", Trevor Salmon and William Nicoll draw upon twenty years experience, one as an academic, the other as a practitioner of European policy to bring together over 100 key documents on european integration in one volume. each document or group of documents, is preceded by commentary which locates the document in its historical context and explains its provenance, purpose and impact upon the development of European Union. Coverage ranges from William Penn's 1693 call for the 'Establishment of an European Dyet, Parliament or Estates@ to the 1990s debate over enlargement, European Monetary Union and issues arising from the 1996 Intergovernmental Conference. By examining seminal documents in context, the reader is able to see what has actually been said, how ideas have progressed and where the debate stands today.
