INTRODUCTION The liberalization of the European Community (EC) financial serv- ices sector is a key component of the 1992 Single Market program. The Single Market program was launched in 1985 by the EC Commission' in order to implement the objectives of the EC Treaty of Rome of 19572 (Treaty). In theory, the freedom of establishment and freedom to pro- vide services contained in the Treaty have been available to individuals and companies since the end of the transitional period (from January 1, 1970),' but in practice, the exercise of these rights has met with consider- able obstacles in the financial services sector.

La investigación sobre Italia no representa ninguna excepción al respecto. Fundados en la presunta inestabilidad del sistema político y en la frecuencia de los cambios de gobierno, los lugares comunes que se refie- ren a la ingobernabilidad o, mejor dicho, a la «malgobernabilidad» gozan de una publicidad y una longevidad especiales (1).

The present study in economics attempts to summarize the status of various facets of economics teaching in Western Europe in the early 1970's. It was compiled from a wide range of information sources, including syllabuses of member countries' programs, a series of questionnaires, meetings of economics experts, personal interviews with teachers and administrators, and the study of background literature. The chapter topics include the role of economics in education; the aims of teaching economics; the structure of the syllabus; economics-within an educational strategy; secondary termination and university entrance; methods of teaching economics; training teachers; assessing the candidates; and a challenging future for economics.

    79 The Idea of Europe at the Origins of the European People’s Party. The Making of the European Manifesto and of the EPP’s Political Programme Jacopo CELLINI The history of an idea. European Christian Democracy and the idea of Europe after the Second World War After the Second World War, Christian Democratic parties (hereinafter, CD parties) of Western Europe had no institutionalized form of party cooperation.1 The frail transnational organisation Secrétariat International des Partis Démocrates d’Inspira- tion Chrétienne (SIPDIC), created in the 1920s, had been dismantled in the early 1930s, when most of its members were forbidden from doing political activity by authoritarian regimes in their home countries. Contacts between Christian Demo- cratic representatives were mostly maintained on a personal and informal level, often by personalities who were forced to live in exile.2 After the war, when political freedom was restored in Western Europe, a new or- ganisation had to be built from scratch. Thanks to the initiative of the Swiss Katholisch- Konservative Partei der Schweiz, the first official meeting between CD parties took place in Lucerne in 1947. Here two main lines confronted each other: the Swiss party, the Italian Democrazia Cristiana (DC) and the Austrian Österreichische Volkspartei (ÖVP) pushed for the creation of a strong International, ideologically consistent and institutionally formalized, while the French Mouvement Républicain Populaire (MRP) and the Belgian Christelijke Volkspartij-Parti Social Chrétien (CVP-PSC) pre- ferred a looser network, impervious to accusations of confessionalism. The second line prevailed, leading to the creation of the Nouvelles Équipes Internationales (NEI), which consisted of individuals or groups (and also political parties) that shared some general principles like a personalist and communitarian view of society, and the pursuit of peace and international cooperation, especially in Europe.
