In the early years of post-war Europe, the continuous search for a multilateral commercial agreement resulted in various plans for European commercial cooperation. These schemes were proposed less in a desire for European integration and supranational institutions, than in response to real economic problems and were the precursors to the formation of the EEC.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe next section investigates the process of creating the EEC including the road to integration of the major founding members, and the attitude of the United States to European integration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinally, it discusses the economic development of the EEC since 1957. It explores major themes including the impact of the Community on trade and agriculture and on competition and financial policy, as well as the effects of its own enlargement. The study ends with the steps towards closer union embodied in the Treaty of Maastricht, which signalled the transformation of the European Economic Community into the European Union.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e'. . . the first two parts contain some excellent material. . .'\u003c\/i\u003e -- Peter Holmes, Regional Studies'. . . the quality of reproduction is good . . . its commendable aspect is that it brings together under one roof a diverse range of interpretations in easily accessible form.'– Steven Morewood, The Economic Journal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents:  Introduction  Part I:  Towards the EEC 1945–55  Part II:  The Creation of the EEC  Part III:  The Economic Development of the EEC, 1957–92  Index","brand":"Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49413964431703,"sku":"9781852787820","price":267.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781852787820.jpg?v=1730521996","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-economic-development-of-the-e-e-c-9781852787820","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
