Søreide videreformidlet forgjengernes budskap om et samarbeid basert på...

This Article revisits the EU’s foundational decade with the view to explain the idea of legitimacy as legality that made its mark on the Treaties of Paris (1951) and Rome (1957). To the architects of these Treaties, it was the Member States’ decision to create a common market that justified the creation of supranational institutions in general and...

The 1994 political debate on EU membership in Norway was characterized by the absence of interest in the idea of Europe as a federal project. EU supporters described the EU in functional and intergovernmental terms: as a neutral framework controlled by participating governments within which Norwegian economic and political interests could be more e...

The question of Norway’s relationship with the EU reappeared on the political agenda at the end of the 1980s, when the process leading to the European Economic Area-agreement (EEAA) started, and the Cold War ended. In November 1992 the labour government headed by Gro Harlem Brundtland decided, with the support of the Storting, that Norway should op...

This book radically re-conceptualises the origins of the European Union as a trans-and supranational polity as it emerged between the Schuman Plan of May 1950 and the first enlargement of the European Communities at the start of 1973. Drawing upon social science theories and debates as well as recent historical research, Wolfram Kaiser and Morten R...

In 1955 the government of Edgar Faure insisted that as a precondition for French participation in the common market, social harmonization should be written into the Treaty of Rome as a binding obligation on the member states. In 1966, the government of Georges Pompidou abandoned social harmonization as a policy objective. The central concern of thi...
