A Vision of Europe
It is commonly held that the inter-war era marked little more than a ceasefire between two world wars, with the improvement in German-Allied relations forged at Locarno in 1925 cut short by the global economic turmoil that followed the 1929 Wall Street Crash. A Vision of Europe challenges this received wisdom, offering a fundamental re-evaluation of inter-war Franco-German relations during the Great Depression and providing a fuller understanding of the historical origins of today's European Union. It demonstrates that rather than lapsing into mutual recrimination and national egotism, France and Germany engaged with the challenges of the post-1929 slump by way of plans for a Franco-German c...
For Peace in Europe
Le processus d'union européenne voit aujourd'hui un point d'arrêt sur le plan politique et institutionnel, malgré les étapes décisives réalisées après la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Il reste en effet à affronter des thèmes et des problèmes qui, pendant l'entre-deux-guerres, animèrent le débat entre les pionniers de l'européanisme. Si, à l'époque, leurs propositions restèrent sans suite, ayant une issue destructrice pour la paix et l'Europe, cet héritage idéal si précieux a permis une continuité et de germer par la suite. Ce livre a pour but de présenter une série d'idées, d'initiatives, de programmes, qui entre les deux guerres entendirent promouvoir le maintien d'un ord...

Unity and Convergence of International Trade Union Action in the 20th Century
Le XXe siècle a posé au syndicalisme beaucoup de défis dont les enjeux ont dépassé les frontières nationales. Bien que conscient dès ses origines de l'importance de l'international, le mouvement ouvrier a-t-il cependant su leur faire face ? Pris dans les ambivalences de l'« âge des extrêmes » et les bouleversements économiques, le mouvement syndical est demeuré en quête d'unité et de convergence internationale. Cet ouvrage propose divers éclairages, portés à travers le XXe siècle, sur les succès ou l'infortune des rapprochements, réalisés ou simplement envisagés, dans le but de renforcer la position des travailleurs.
Borders, Identities, Communities
The book examines the reconciliation in East Central Europe during the EU integration process, with historical references and analyzes of the region's current political and diplomatic processes. It is a useful tool for scientists and students wishing to explore an up-to-date collection of contributions written by regional scientists and members of the Historians Liaison Group to the European Commission. The multidisciplinary approach of the studies focuses on the Franco-German model of reconciliation as well as on the location of borders, identities and communities in East Central European territory, in the current (geo) political, economic and cultural context. Particular attention is paid to such aspects of the region as populism, the teaching of common history and integration efforts. The contributions were presented at the international conference "Disintegration and Integration in Central and Eastern Europe", 3rd edition (Berlin, 2016). The research area is European integration.
Technological Innovation, Globalization and the Cold War
This volume focuses on the interconnections between the Cold War, technological innovation and globalization. Although the consequences of globalization have received ample attention in both academia and the public discourse, only limited attention has so far been given to the factors that instigated various waves of this process. This holds particularly true for the period following World War II, during which a struggle between the two global blocs fanned not only technological innovations but also their transfer. This volume is dedicated to examining the links between the Cold War and this phase in the history of globalization, a phase that gradually made the world—despite high levels of...
Les deux europes
L'histoire de l'Europe au XXe siècle est marquée par de nombreux dualismes dont les traces continuent à caractériser l'Union européenne. Pour mieux comprendre les problèmes actuels de l'intégration européenne, ces dualismes sont étudiés dans une perspective historique et déclinés en quatre axes de réflexion : Europe de l'Est versus Europe de l'Ouest, Europe comme rêve versus Europe comme réalité, Europe(s) politique(s) versus Europe(s) économique(s) et Europe puissance versus Europe comme instrument de puissance. Le présent ouvrage recueille les actes du IIIe colloque international de l'association RICHIE (Réseau international de jeunes chercheurs en histoire de l'intégra...

Alan S. Milward and a Century of European Change
Twenty-five scholars from various disciplines analyze and explain to the reader many of the complexities of the research output of Alan S. Milward: the role of the modern European nation-state in the social, economic and political development of Europe since the 19th century; the overall social and economic impact of the two world wars; the reconstruction of Western Europe; the rationale behind the Marshall Plan and its long-term consequences; and the multidisciplinary study of the process of the political and economic integration of Europe in a long-term perspective.and the essence of his pioneering contribution to reaching a better understanding of European economic and political history in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries
Making the European Monetary Union
Europe’s financial crisis cannot be blamed on the Euro, James contends in this probing exploration of the whys, whens, whos, and what-ifs of European monetary union. The current crisis goes deeper, to conundrums that were debated but not resolved at the time of the Euro’s invention. And, Euro or no Euro, these clashes will continue into the future.
