  • Chapter
Developments in the European Union

Abstract

Although the philosophical basis and impetus for what has evolved into the European Union (EU) was largely political, the history of European integration has been largely economic.

This, they believed, would produce clear and identifiable economic benefits, leading to support for political integration.
