60 years of France and Europe

2017 marked the 60th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Rome and the starting point for todays European Union (EU). Since then, the project has indisputably come a very long way and has undergone major changes in direction. However, one constant has been the central role played by France.

This important milestone is used to take stock of the relationship between France and Europe. The enclosed chapters cover a broad range of issues relating to the past, present and future, investigating Franco-European relations via the optic of a wide range of debates. These include

• the issue of Europe in French presidential elections;
• the impact of the European question on the development of the two major political forces (of left and right) in France, and its role in their internal tensions;
• Europe as a key consideration in French macroeconomic policy;
• Frances Algerian question and missed opportunities to extend Europe to its North African neighbour; and
• Charles de Gaulles role in defining the EUs structures for transnational democratic politics.

60 years of France and Europe assesses how and why Europe matters in our understanding of contemporary France and contributes to the important and ongoing research agendas for the study of France and the EU.

The chapters were originally published in a special issue of Modern & Contemporary France.

Introduction

The publication of this special issue is timed to coincide with the 60th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Rome in March 1957 by France and its five fellow founder members of the European Economic Community (EEC). The Treaty of Rome committed France to integrate its economy ever more comprehensively with those of its fellow member states. If Parsons (2017) is to be believed, by far the majority of French organised interests at the time (political, economic, industrial, administrative, diplomatic) were just as resistant to this development as they had been to the 1951 Treaty of Paris establishing the European Coal and Steel Community, and the European Defence and Political Communities in 1954.
