Summary

"This book discusses how the EC/EU changed from its beginnings, and in which respect the present situation is different from the past. Which trends of evolution can be observed, and which factors may influence the future evolution? In this volume, 19 historians from seven countries, all of them well known experts of the field, are balancing the different aspects of the European experience. Based on broad archival research the volume offers a comprehensive look on the history of European integration and a discussion of the present situation and possible developments in the light of this balance. Experiencing Europe is seen as a response to the challenges Europeans have to meet in the 20th and 21st centuries." --Book Jacket.
