Description
This study is an historical study of British policy towards European integration from World War II to the creation of the Single European Market. Whilst focusing on government policy, the book also deals with changes of attitude among pressure groups, the press and public opinion. It introduces readers not only to the main events in British relations with the European unity movement, but also to the debates on the subject among politicians, political scientists and historians. It is based upon a full survey of the available historical archives, as well as the memoirs of diaries of those involved in events. A concluding essay analyzes why Britain is a "reluctant" European. Other works by John W. Young include " Britain, France and the Unity of Europe, 1945-51", "France, the Cold War and the Western Alliance, 1944-49" and "Cold War Europe, 1945-89".
