| Opplysninger | Conservative moves towards Europe, 1945-75 : 'like chasing a girl' ; From EEC to EU, 1975-2006 : 'in Europe, but not run by Europe? ; The issues and debates : 'head versus heart' ; The conservative Europeanist ; Selling Europe : 'a pretty big thing to undertake' ; The conservative sceptic : 'a confederacy of zealots and lurchers'? ; Conservatives in Europe : 'the concern of a private army'?. - The Conservative Party and European integration since 1945 provides and up-to-date, readable and comprehensive introduction to British policy in Europe. By exploring schisms within the party over Europe, through primary source-based history and theoretical discourses of political science, N.J. Crowson gives the reader the best sense of understanding of how and why the Conservative party's policy attitudes to European integration have evolved. This fresh approach seeks to cast a new light on an often Anglo-centric study. The Conservative Party and European integration since 1945 adopts a thematic line based around two chronological periods, 1945-75 and 1975-2006, and uses different methodological approaches. The book explores the shifting stances amongst Conservatives within an economic, political and international context as the party adjusted to the decline of Britain's world role and the loss of empire. Crowson analyses Britain's role and relationship with Europe together with the study of the Conservative Party, and deals with economic, commercial and monetary issues, successfully bridging a serious gap in any discussion of the UK's relations with the European Union and apprectiation of the poltical world in whih Conservative European policy has been framed and pursued since 1945
