Summary:

After Empires describes how the end of colonial empires and the changes in international politics and economics after decolonization affected the European integration process. Studies on European integration have often focussed on the search for peaceful relations among the European nations, particularly between Germany and France, or examined it as an offspring of the Cold War, moving together with the ups and downs of transatlantic relations. But these two factors alone are not enough to explain the rise of the European Community and its more recent transformation into the European Union. Book jacket.
