OverviewRevolutionary changes in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union; civil strife in the Balkans; the heavy burden of German reunification; war in the Gulf and its dramatic aftermath; the completion of the internal market in 1992 and the management of two highly complicated Intergovernmental Conferences - more than ever before in its history, the European Community has to operate under strong pressure. This volume captures these problems in a systematic way, and presents suggestions as to how the Twelve could cope with them, using the Dutch EC-Presidency as a reference point. The subject dealt with include: the EC-Presidency in a new European setting; the European Community and the wider Europe; European foreign policy and security co-operation; 1992 and the Common Transport Policy; economic and social cohesion in a Community of regions; the politics of Economic and Monetary Union. The chapters are written by specialists from both the international academic world, such as economics, international relations, European law, as well as from the European institutions. Together they provide a comprehensive survey of the profound challenges confronting the EC in the early 1990s. Full Product DetailsAuthor: Alfred Pijpers , J.
