Economic Integration and Growth in Europe (1987) is an in-depth study of the economic effects of integration and an analysis of economic growth in the EEC. It develops an alternative framework to the conventional Customs Union approach to the theory of economic integration and uses this new framework to measure the effects of the European experience of economic integration. The main conclusions are that integration has had a large effect on trade and that the benefits of integration have mainly arisen from export growth.

The alliance between the United States and its Nato partners has been strained severely in recent years. Ethics & European Security (1986) develops a broad understanding of the problem of European security and American backing based on Christian ethics. There are disagreements and differences of emphasis among the contributors but they have in common the view that an exclusive preoccupation with the military dimension is damagingly one-sided. Instead the contributors argue that moral and theological concerns are a vital part of the politics and mechanics of European security and must be incorporated in any effort to devise new policies for security in Europe and the West.

Regional Development in the European Economic Community (1962) examines the considerable disparities in economic development between the various regions in the original six countries of the EEC. It considers the principles basic to regional policies in general, how far in fact they are influenced by social and how far by economic reasons. Two of the less-developed regions of the Community, Southern Italy and South West France, are then discussed in detail and the various schemes put forward for their development are described and analysed.

Disputes over fishing rights stir national feelings despite the modest socio-economic importance of fishing in most member states. The Common Fisheries Policy of the European Community (1984) takes an impartial view in examining the development of the European Community’s Common Fisheries Policy from its obscure origins in the 1960s to its reform in the 1980s. In doing so, it draws together the major characteristics of Europe’s diverse national fishing industries, and not only sheds light on the complex and often poorly understood workings of the EC itself but also describes the almost insuperable political problems of allocating and conserving an important international resource.

After 1978 the European Communities had a budget financed wholly from sources of income belonging to the Communities themselves. The Power of the Purse in the European Communities (1972) examines the constitutional principles this raises, as well focusing on the nationalist versus federalist approaches to Communities’ institutions, and the political and economic ramifications of the expanded role and powers of the European Parliament.

To what extent are Member states of the EEC bound to operate under principles of free trade and undistorted competition? How much of a free market really is the EEC in so far as the States themselves are concerned? Free Trade and Competition in the EEC (1988) examines these issues and attempts to establish the conditions under which a State may operate in the market through the medium of undertakings which it controls and the Member State’s responsibility for these undertakings. It looks at the extent to which Member States may intervene and regulate this market through general measures and tamper with free market forces without infringing the principle of free competition and whether state liability can be established. In the context of the above, the book also assesses the separate liability of both public and private undertakings which operate under the direction of the State or in a so heavily regulated environment that a certain anti-competitive behaviour is made possible or virtually imposed by the State.

Mental Health Care in the European Community (1985) is a study of the developments and constraints in the mental health policies of the full-member states of the European Community. Discussion is largely devoted to issues in the Sixties, Seventies and early Eighties, although the contributors have attempted to set each nation’s policies in the wider historical context. Each case study links the expansion of psychiatric services ‘in the community’ to changes occurring in the health and welfare services generally. In so doing the authors describe and assess the scale of political, financial and planning constraints – some peculiar to the country, others common to all the countries – and endeavour to outline the prospects for mental health care in the EC.

Economic Divergence in the European Community (1981) looks at the widening differences between the economies of the member states of the European Community. The economic designers of the common market had confidently assumed that the removal of trade barriers would bring about a natural convergence among national economies, and an acceleration in the pace of economic growth. This book closely examines the assumptions and suggests ways in which the Community’s limited financial instruments and capabilities for co-ordinating economic and monetary policies might better be used to promote these aims.

European Technological Collaboration (1987) traces the response to international technological competition by European industries and governments, in promoting greater collaboration both in research and development and in new manufacturing and marketing initiatives. It examines the relative position of European industry in high-technology sectors, and the move towards collaboration on the part of industrialists and governments, and it covers European Community programmes such as Esprit, Race, Brite and Eureka. It concludes with a critique of the case for and against collaboration at a European level, asking how far it is actually promoting greater competitiveness, and how far governments should be actively promoting European, as distinct from multinational, collaboration.

Europe's Domestic Market (1988) provides a critical analysis of the European Community’s aim to achieve a unified European domestic market by 1992. It discusses the kind of common market which might be achieved and the economic benefits which might follow. It also explores how far other economic measures need to be undertaken, and the other conditions which may need to be satisfied, if governments, industries and public opinion are to endorse the steps necessary to make the European economy more dynamic. Lastly, some comments are proffered on the potential effects of a unified market on the British economy.

The Spanish Economy in the 20th Century (1985) looks at the trials and tribulations of Spain, one of the most politically isolated and economically backward countries in Europe in the 20th Century. Monarchy, dictatorships, civil war, parliamentary republic – Spain experienced them all and it was not until the much-vaunted ‘Spanish miracle’ of 1961–73 that the country’s economic fortunes began to turn around. Foreign tourists and emigrant remittances, together with foreign capital looking for cheap labour, brought a great deal of rapid economic development that was accelerated by Spain’s entry into the EEC.
