    THE WIDER EUROPE MATRIX THE WIDER EUROPE MATRIX MICHAEL EMERSON PREFACE BY GÜNTER VERHEUGEN CENTRE FOR EUROPEAN POLICY STUDIES BRUSSELS The Centre for European Policy Studies (CEPS) is an independent policy research institute in Brussels. Its mission is to produce sound policy research leading to constructive solutions to the challenges facing Europe. The views expressed are entirely those of the authors. CEPS Paperbacks present analysis and views by leading experts on important questions in the arena of European public policy. They are written in a style geared to an informed but generalist readership of policy-makers, government officials and corporate executives. This book was prepared at the invitation of Aspen Italia, in the context of the Italian Presidency of the European Union in the second half of 2003. Financial support from the Compagnia di San Paolo, Torino, is gratefully acknowledged. The paper also draws on a current project supported by the Science Policy Office of the Belgian federal government on conflict management in the divided states of the European periphery, undertaken by CEPS in collaboration with the Free University of Brussels (VUB); and on a recent project on the Middle East supported by the UK Department for International Development (DFID).

The exertions and strains of two years of negotiations were behind us. They had led to the success of which we ourselves were not initially sure. The outside observers, from Great Britain in particular, who had not believed in it and had therefore taken a wait-and-see attitude, capitulated in view of the new situation. As early as 13 February 1957, the member states of the OEEC and the Six took the decision to begin negotiations in order to ‘create a free-trade zone in Europe, in which the Common Market of the Six is associated with the other member states on a multilateral basis.’ On that March day in 1957, the Hill adorned with venerable buildings, the equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius and a copy of the Capitoline she-wolf was the scene of a European event for which the city of Rome was pleased and proud to supply its incomparable backdrop.

  • Spain and the European Union Mutually Face at Present

    Spain and the European Union Mutually Face at Present

    NYU Madrid POL-UA 9167.M01 Spain and the EU Instructor Information ● Name: Dr. Jason Xidias ● Office hours: Wednesdays, 2-3PM ● Email address: [email protected] Course Description Since 1945, European countries have sought to develop closer political, economic, legal, social, and cultural ties. This ambition has rested on the liberalist assumption that, by working together, Europe’s great powers – particularly France and Germany – could prevent a resurgence of nationalism and war. Integration was also a means by which Western Europe’s most powerful nations could rebuild their war-torn economies and counter their imperial losses in Africa and Asia. This was considered essential in order to regain legitimacy and influence against the backdrop of Cold War superpower rivalry between the United States and Soviet Union. Historian Alan Milward has referred to this integration as “the European rescue of the nation-state.” Over time, European integration has experienced many milestones, such as the creation of the Single Market, the reunification of West and East Germany, and the integration of 10 former communist countries. At the same time, integration has experienced many setbacks – two prominent examples have been the inability to form a more cohesive political union and Britain’s recent referendum to exit the European Union. For Spain, European integration was an essential part of moving beyond three-and-a-half decades of dictatorship under Francisco Franco. After Spain officially became a democracy in 1978, joining the European project ensured greater security, modernization, and integration into the global economy. Since becoming a member of the European Community in 1986, Spain has reaped great economic and social benefits.
