Abstract
At a time of far-reaching decisions about the future shape of the European Union, it is important to look back on the history of European integration. This history is rich with experience and insights which can help in addressing the problems facing the Union today. But above all, it enables us to understand the present as part of a historical process which is evidently not complete and may still move in many different directions.
