  European Community - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The European Community ( EC), most important of three European Communities, was originally founded on March 25, 1957 by the signing of the Treaty of Rome under the name of European Economic Community.
European Communities is the name given collectively to the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC), the European Economic Community (EEC), and the European Atomic Energy Community (Euratom), when in 1968, they were first merged under a single institutional framework with the Merger Treaty.
It was for a time proposed that the European Constitution should repeal the Euratom treaty, in order to terminate the legal personality of Euratom at the same time as that of the European Community, but this was not included in the final version.

According to the dominant literature, the idea of political representation and parliamentary and electoral accountability is alien to EU government for the simple reason that there is no European government that would depend upon the outcome of elections to the European Parliament and that could be hold accountable by parliament and ultimately by the voters.
One of the basic objections against the effectiveness of EU electoral politics is that national party systems, based in national cleavage structures, fail to organise the alternatives with respect to the further development of the European Union that ought to be decided in European Parliament elections.
If political parties (of the same party family) across member states develop different party manifestos, and profile themselves on different issues, when voters across borders have different policy priorities and vote according to different considerations, then a truly European system of political representation is certainly out of reach.

Political groups enhance their possibilities of safeguarding themselves by building coalitions and generally the less well united their respective rivals are, the safer and more powerful they are.
Communication and interaction constitute the basis of a collective learning process towards an increased awareness, trust and loyalty between the members of the groups, "assumed to be self-reinforcing, rather like the ascending spiral of `escalation'" (Pentland, 1973, 252).
European integration was strategically negotiated, therefore, as a `journey to an unknown destination' to enable member states' governments as well as the proponents of the various integration theories to interpret freely the real meaning of this nebulous term.

 EU Glossary: E-F   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The European Community is the generic term for three different European communities: European Coal and Steel Community (Treaty of Paris 1951), European Atomic Energy Community (Treaty of Rome 1957) and the European Economic Community (Treaty of Rome 1957).
European political cooperation (EPC) was introduced informally in 1970 (in response to the Davignon report) and formalised by the Single European Act with effect from 1987.
Each successive European Council (Helsinki, Feira and Nice) has gradually given substance to this desire to give the Union a capacity for autonomous action in international crisis management, where NATO as such is not engaged, in compliance with the principles of the UN Charter and acknowledging the prerogatives of the UN Security Council.

 Background Note: European Community (EC)
The primary aim of the Paris and Rome treaties establishing the European Communities was to remove the economic barriers that divided the member countries as the first steps toward political unity.
The Single European Act underlined the commitment of Community members to achieving "European Union." At a landmark summit held in Maastricht, Netherlands, in December 1991, the Heads of State and Government agreed to further amendments in the EC treaties to move the Community toward greater political union, including more unified foreign and defense policies.
In January 1992, the Community announced its plan to negotiate partnership and cooperation agreements with the states of the former Soviet Union to replace the trade and cooperation agreement signed by the EC and the Soviet Union in 1989.

 European Political Economy Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Although European Political Economy is today a flourishing research field, only few academic journals or reviews choose this focus to bridge the gap between political, economic and also juridical sciences on European questions.
Facing the growing interdependence characterising the post bi-polar world, scholars of international and European Political Economy analyse two major interconnections: first, the way politics constructs economics at the same time as economics constructs politics within the processes of Europeanisation and internationalisation.
In the particular and unique case of the European construction, there is a strong need to understand, in an interdisciplinary perspective, the blurring of boundaries between politics and economics, as well as between national and European questions.

Following the European Council meetings in Cologne, Helsinki and Feira (respectively, June and December 1999, and June 2000), progress on a European Union security and defence policy has been achieved at a faster rate than at any time during the previous 50 years in the history of European integration.
The EDC saga collapsed in 1954 for a number of national, European, and international reasons: the death of Stalin and the end of the war in the Korean peninsula; the ‘unholy’ alliance of Gaullists and Communists in the French Assembly; and the supranational nature of the EDC project.
The French through the intervention made by the Quai d’Orsay’s Political Director, Gérard Errera, argued that ‘it is essential that the EU enjoys full autonomy in its decision-making because the EU is not a sub-set in a wider Euro-Atlantic world’, to use the Conference rapporteur’s own words (Lindley-French 2000: 2).
