This captivating book delves into a pivotal period of European history, spanning the years between the 1980s and 1990s, during which the European Union took shape. While contributing to the existing literature on the Maastricht Treaty and European integration at the end of the twentieth century, it also extends those debates into the twenty-first century and establishes connections with longer-term issues. The transformation of the European political climate in the aftermath of the global financial crisis in 2008 and the historic Brexit vote in 2016 has heightened the urgency of reevaluating how scholars and opinion-makers have approached European integration in the past. By drawing from recently released archival documents, the authors meticulously analyze European cooperation within the broader context of international history, considering the changes in the Cold War order and the emergence of a new phase of globalization. Through a comparative and contrasting analysis of the debates, objectives, and achievements of the 1980s and 1990s with the current political landscape of the European Union, this book offers a novel interpretation of the choices made during the Maastricht years and their far-reaching consequences. This insightful exploration of a critical chapter in European history provides valuable insights into the complex dynamics shaping the European Union today.
