Revival
This title was first published in 1972.
Europe
Britain is now definitely a member of the Europe Community. But that union is not and never has been an immutable institution ; and in this enlarged Pelican version of his brilliant Reith Lectures the Director of the Royal Institute of International Affairs argues that it is as likely to be modified by Britain's entry as Britain is to be transformed by membership. At any rate, he maintains, this is no local domestic question. Whatever course she takes, Europe from now on is back in the big league of continental powers. Among the permanent facts which will help to decide the future he identifies the French spirit, the American connection (not always comfortable), the Russian presence and the calls of Japan and the Third World. Andrew Shonfield takes these one by one, and in his final lectures examines the workings of the EEC and tackles the importance and the difficulty of endowing the monster we are creating with political legitimacy. Somehow "Eurocracy" must ve made to evolve into democracy.

Rival Capitalists
Great Britain, France, Germany, and Japan. Surveying the development of the steel, automobile, and semiconductor industries in each of these countries, Jeffrey A. Hart illuminates the role of national policy in a changing world. Hart describes the global structure of production and consumption in the five major capitalist countries and offers a rich comparative history of their industrial policymaking. He concludes that variations in statesocietal arrangements—and the impact these differences have on the creation and diffusion of new technologies—provide the best explanation for divergences in international competitiveness. In Japan, state and business are allied, but labor is marginaliz...
Regime Changes
During the 1930s and 1940s, and again in the 1970s and 1980s, most European nations, indeed most industrial nations, undertook major changes in macroeconomic policy orientation and financial regulation. The contributors to this volume, historians, political scientists, and economists, identify the forces which drove these major policy shifts, and explore their implications for other areas of economic and social policy. Douglas J. Forsyth is teaching at Bowling Green State University. Ton Notermans is senior researcher for the Advanced Research on the Europeanization of the Nation-State (ARENA) Program of the Norwegian Research Council.
Regulating Labor
In May and June of 1968 a dramatic wave of strikes paralyzed France, making industrial relations reform a key item on the government agenda. French trade unions seemed due for a golden age of growth and importance. Today, however, trade unions are weaker in France than in any other advanced capitalist country. How did such exceptional militancy give way to equally remarkable quiescence? To answer this question, Chris Howell examines the reform projects of successive French governments toward trade unions and industrial relations during the postwar era, focusing in particular on the efforts of post-1968 conservative and socialist governments. Howell explains the genesis and fate of these refo...
