Argues that the logic of European integration stems from a combination of global processes of production & exchange & a form of political organization at the regional/supranational level. Further, it is suggested that the particular form of this political organization has been conditioned by the unique historical conjuncture of the division of Europe after WWII into East & West, thus emphasizing global politico-strategic considerations & the challenge posed to the power of the ruling classes in Western Europe by the radicalized working classes. The conventional theory of European integration is described as ahistorical, & thus unable to explain the logic & roots of European integration. The Marxist theory of integration is employed to examine this historical process, with the careful acknowledgement that this theory unduly privileges macroissues concerning the economy at the expense of microanalysis of political processes. Avenues toward synthesizing these approaches into a new, more nuanced theory of European integration are briefly discussed. D. M. Smith
