The historical dictionaries present essential information on a broad range of subjects, including American and world history, art, business, cities, countries, cultures, customs, film, global conflicts, international relations, literature, music, philosophy, religion, sports, and theater. Written by experts, all contain highly informative introductory essays of the topic and detailed chronologies that, in some cases, cover vast historical time periods but still manage to heavily feature more recent events.
Brief AZ entries describe the main people, events, politics, social issues, institutions, and policies that make the topic unique, and entries are cross-referenced for ease of browsing. Extensive bibliographies are divided into several general subject areas, providing excellent access points for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more. Additionally, maps, photographs, and appendixes of supplemental information aid high school and college students doing term papers or introductory research projects. In short, the historical dictionaries are the perfect starting point for anyone looking to research in these fields.

Acquiscommunautaire is the French term for what has been achieved, originally by the EuropeanCommunities, now the EuropeanUnion, in terms of treaties and legislation (regulations, directives, and decisions), as well as decisions by the EuropeanCourtofJustice. The term is especially used in connection with enlargements, where it had already been established in connection with the first enlargement in 1973 that the candidates must accept and implement all the acquis. This acquis has, of course, grown over the years, so joining today requires a much larger legislative adaptation than in the earlier years.
ACQUISPOLITIQUEAcquispolitique is the French term for what has been achieved in the foreign political area, first under EuropeanPoliticalCooperation (EPC) beginning in 1970, and later under the CommonForeignandSecurityPolicy (CFSP) established by the TreatyofMaastricht in 1993.

This was made quite clear in connection with the 1995 enlargement, when the formerly neutral countries of Austria, Finland, and Sweden joined the EU.

Gaullists and Communists were not included because of their hostility toward European integration. For 20 years, ACUSE worked as a lobby for European integration from its headquarters in Paris. In a first period, it was a question of supporting the relaunch of European integration, started by the
