Abstract

[After 1945, the Cold War, decolonisation, the German question and the need for economic reconstruction led to the emergence of Western European cooperation. However, between the 1940s and the 1960s, there was no consensus among Western European elites and the broader public as to the form, scope, final aim, and even the desirability of European integration. Imperialism and nationalism had survived the war as powerful ideologies. Indeed, the rebuilding of formerly occupied nations and the preserving of imperial power dominated domestic and foreign policy agendas across Western Europe. Projects for Western European cooperation ranged from the federalist vision of a United States of Europe to conservative intergovernmentalism, free trade liberalism, and socialist and communist internationalism. Moreover, Western European cooperation had no institutional centre. There was not only one, but rather multiple international organisations that promoted economic, political, and military cooperation in Western Europe: The Council of Europe, the Organisation for European Economic Co-operation (OEEC), the European Payments Union (EPU), the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC), the European Economic Community (EEC), the European Free Trade Area (EFTA), the Western European Union (WEU) and the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO). These different projects and organisations enjoyed greatly varying degrees of attention and support in different Western European countries.]
