内容説明

This study analyzes the European Union's history-making reforms in 1985 and 1991, from a realist point of view, focusing on the role of Germany and France. Stressing the prominent role of Germany in Europe's constitutive politics, the text argues that the EU is less a sign of the abandonment of power politics than the product of a new "soft" great power strategy typical of comparatively weak regional big powers. The analysis of the Intergovernmental Conferences is placed in a longer historical perspective and embedded in an overall interpretation of the role of big powers in processes of regional integration. The book thus develops a theory of co-operative hegemony and symmetrical federalization.
