Lecture. Background to the Single European Act; outlook for the future.

First published in 1973 The European Community in the World shows what outward looking' can mean in terms of British participation in the Community and of the Community's policies and actions as a world power. Richard Bailey says that the time for argument for or against British membership of the Common market has gone. The enlargement of the Community is a fact: how, then, can Britain best adjust to the new situation? The extension of the European Community is significant for all the world and will increase its power among the institutions that govern the world, affecting the politics of many countries from Sweden to Swaziland. In post Brexit world, this book is a must read for students and scholars of European politics, European history, British history, and British politics.

The Medieval European Community, by D. J. A. Matthew. Batsford, London, 1977

On the economic side it has been possible generally to maintain American-European cooperation, on which world stability and progress depend, but political cooperation has been less rapid. Therefore the time seems ripe for a re-examination of the principles of the Atlantic Community.

The article deals with the strains in European-Israeli relations and also reports on the state of negotiations between the European Community and the Gulf Cooperation Council. As concerns the former topic it is underlined that the EC's support for Israel has slipped as the intifada has progressed. EC member states, however, vary towards the question of sanctions on Israel. The PLO's expectations are covered by an interview with its representative at Brussels, Shawki Armali. With respect to the latter issue of EEC and GCC trade relations the emphasis is on the Gulf states' efforts of reducing their trade imbalance by pressing Europe to lighten the tariffs it slaps on Gulf petrochemicals.
