  The Uniting of Europe: From Discord to Concord by Stanley Henig provides an introduction to the history of European integration. The author places European unification within a wider political and economic context. He shows how institutional developments have been conditioned by wider international considerations.
  Including a succinct but comprehensive account of the structure, functions and working of the major European institutions, this book considers:

  * the impact of the Cold War and the superpowers on Europe
  * Britain's decision to join the Community
  * the consequences of German reunification
  * the problem of nationalism in Eastern Europe
  * key personalities, parties, regimes and political systems
  * the challenges of the future for the European Union.

  Stanley Henig argues that integration and unification cannot be understood without reference to wider factors. The Uniting of Europe provides a comprehensive background to current and future issues confronting Europe in a global context.
