The Report on the European Construction Process. Anatomy of a Crisis

Abstract

For several generations has usually portrayed to the construction of Europe as an unprecedented
success story. However, in historiographical terms, European integration appears away
from the conventions of the postwar narrative is presented as an action fraught with intergovernmental
pragmatism, determined by the needs of a weakened European, coherent states with a
new conception of economic policy and of course, conditioned by the international context. The
problem is that the process of integration and the idea of Europe claiming to represent urgently
need a new story, but its construction is complex in view of the work of the historian.
