First published in 1981 The European Community and its Mediterranean Enlargement examines the background to the economic developments in Greece, Spain and Portugal, their relationship with the Community and the political and economic interests at issue during negotiations. At the same time the study of enlargement provides an excellent opportunity for a critical appraisal of existing Community policies (especially those affecting industry and agriculture) and a discussion of likely future developments and pressures for change within the context of the Community of Twelve'. Loukas Tsoukalis combines a thorough familiarity with Community affairs with a good knowledge of Southern Europe and the ability to work in several European languages. This book crosses many disciplinary boundaries and is a must read for scholars and researchers of European politics, European Union, international relations and European history.

Buffeted by a successon of crises, Europe has not been so weak and so divided for a long time. In these troubled times for both Europe and the European idea, can the continent hold together? And, if so, under what terms - and for what purpose?

As the European Union moves towards enlargement, this text pinpoints the crucial issues which will shape its future as a regional, economic and political entity.
