He played a key role in re-launching European monetary integration, winning the right to attend the new global summits, and smoothing Greece?s path to EC membership. But he fell short of other targets. Commission reform remained elusive, as did an improvement of the UK?s troubled relationship with the EC. Indeed the row over Britain?s contribution to the EC budget, meant that Britain?s position in Europe was as difficult when he left Brussels as it had been when he arrived. This study will look at how Jenkins approached his role, identifying his priorities, examining his working methods, and exploring his rapport with the European and international statesmen with whom he had to work. In the process, the book will shed light on the nature of the job, on Jenkins? own talents and limitations, and on the European Community as it struggled with the global economic crisis of the 1970s. 410 0$aSecurity, Conflict and Cooperation in the Contemporary World 606 $aHistory, Modern 606 $aEurope?History 606 $aModern History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/713000 606 $aEuropean History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/717000 607 $aEuropean Union countries$xPolitics and government$y20th century 607 $aEurope$zEuropean Union countries$2fast 615 0$aHistory, Modern. 615 0$aEurope?History. 615 14$aModern History. 615 24$aEuropean History. 676 $a909.08 700 $aLudlow$b N.
