POST-YALTA AND POST-MAASTRICHT EUROPE; EPILOGUE; BIBLIOGRAPHY; INDEXIn the second half of the twentieth century France played the greatest role - even greater than Germany's - in shaping what eventually became the European Union. By the early twenty-first century, however, in a hugely transformed Europe, this era had patently come to an end. This comprehensive history shows how France coupled the pursuit of power and the furtherance of European integration over a sixty-year period, from the close of the Second World War to the hesitation caused by the French electorate's referendum rejection of the European Union's constitutional treaty in 2005.Berghahn monographs in French studies.HISTORY / Europe / FrancebisacshFranceForeign relations1945-FrancePolitics and government1945-FranceForeign relationsEuropean Union countriesEuropean Union countriesForeign relationsFranceHISTORY / Europe / France.327.440409/045327.440409045Sutton Michael523157MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910819884703321France and the construction of Europe, 1944-20074116122UNINA
