Diplomacy and Persuasion : How Britain Joined the Common Market

Uwe W. Kitzinger

4.9/5 (21946 ratings)

Description:On 1 January 1973 Great Britain formally became a member of the European Common Market. The opening of this new epoch in Britain's history also marked the end of a remarkable campaign. For a quarter of a century a dedicated group of visionaries argued and lobbied for a closer association with Western Europe. For over ten years successive British governments knocked at the door of the European Economic Community and asked to be let in. Twice General de Gaulle said 'No', and public opinion grew cold in the face of such rejection. This book tells the story - in terms of personalities, pressure groups and political parties - of Britain's efforts to join the Common Market, and of how they ultimately succeeded. It analyses the foreign policy which formed the background of Britain's declining importance in world affairs and the economic factors which contributed to the eventual decision to seek membership of the European Economic Community. The author's unique experience both as an international civil servant in Strasbourg and as a distinguished Oxford academic guarantees a book that is both immensely readable and a permanent contribution to contemporary history.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
