Items related to European Integration: A Concise History
A fully revised and updated edition of Surpassing Realism: The Politics of European Integrationsince 1945, this book remains the standard for concise histories of the European Union. Mark Gilbert offers a clear and balanced narrative of European integration since its inception to the present, set in the wider history of the post-war period. Imperial decline and decolonization, the threat and then fall of communism, the impact of American policy, and the democratization of the Mediterranean and central European countries are just some of the contemporaneous historical developments whose intersecting stories have been woven into this book’s fabric. The European Union remains a remarkable experiment in regional cooperation, but the aura of success that has enveloped the process of integration for much of the period since the 1950s is dissipating in the wake of dire economic collapses and heated immigration debates. Gilbert concludes by examining the mood of crisis that has taken hold in the EU since 2005 and considers the Union’s future.

Review:
An indispensable overview. . . . [W]ell written, well balanced, vivid and refreshingly positive, suitable for both students and specialists in European integration, a rewarding and entertaining read. . . . Gilbert's clearly written and wide-ranging work extends not only to political history but also to the history of institutions, economies and monetary developments. (Previous Edition Praise) (Contemporary European History)
A balanced historical account [and] a very fine piece of scholarship. It deserves to become a standard. (Previous Edition Praise) (Political Studies Review)
Mark Gilbert has written a lively and balanced book on an intricate, difficult, and often contentious subject. At a time when European integration is approaching a crucial stage, Surpassing Realism deserves the widest possible readership. (Previous Edition Praise) (Philip M. H. Bell, University of Liverpool)
A highly readable and lucid account of the EU's institutional development from the early postwar years to the present. One of the best general histories of the EU currently available. (Previous Edition Praise) (Michael J. Baun, Valdosta State University)
