| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The central question in Europe United is simple: how can we account for the creation of the European Community (EC)? As I emphasize in the book, answering this question involves two tasks. The ?rst is to explain why states cooperate; that is, why they join forces and coordinate their policies. The second is to explain why their cooperation takes the form it does. What accounts for states' decisions to form alliances or free trade areas as opposed to unions or integrated communities, which are rare phenomena in world politics? |
