Algemene projectbeschrijving
Since its inception, the European integration project has been contested. This interdisciplinary research project analyzes the different blueprints for Europe that were present in the period 1930-1963, thereby aiming to show why some blueprints set their stamps on the institutional start-up of European integration, while other blueprints were rejected. Going beyond a state-centric analysis in order to achieve this, the research project focuses on transnational political, clerical and economic networks. By including a wider range of actors, the project expands the existing historiography of the EU’s “early” integration. Moreover, such a new understanding of the diversity of ideas of “what is Europe” in these early years of European integration may help to elucidate the driving forces and institutional dynamics in today’s EU.
