Britain's Failure to Enter The European Community 1961-63: The Enlargement Negotiations and Crises in European Atlantic and Commonwealth Relations (Paperback - 1997)

About the Book
The essays collected here outline a number of factors which made the EC too young to be able to assimilate Britain's important interests, and the British over-optimistic in their approach to negotiations with the Community. The role of conflict over Western strategy and European political union in the breakdown of the negotiations is re-assessed, and the negotiations over agriculture and the Commonwealth are revealed in an entirely new light.
