De Gucht (a Belgian member of the European Parliament) and Keukeleire (University of Louvain) have produced a straightforward, dispassionate, insightful analysis of how the 1980s transformed Western Europe's political landscape.
But as Karel De Gucht and Stephan Keukeleire go on to point out, these events were neither a necessity nor an accident, as they were the consequence of many small steps and measures whose effects were incalculable at the time as well as of fundamental long-term developments.
De Gucht and Keukeleire see these developments as the building blocks for Europe's future and the opportunities for choice that could allow these European nations to once again take control of their history.
