Social Forces in the Making of the New Europe

Delve into the complexities of European integration with "Social Forces in the Making of the New Europe," edited by Andreas and Adam Davi Bieler. Published by Palgrave Macmillan in 2001, this paperback edition spans 261 pages and offers a thorough analysis of the dynamics shaping the contemporary European landscape. The authors argue that the resurgence of integration in the mid-1980s and the formation of a "New Europe" must be viewed through the lens of globalization and the transnational restructuring of social forces that began in the early 1970s. This insightful exploration provides a critical context for understanding the political, social, and economic changes that have influenced Europe’s evolution. Ideal for scholars and anyone interested in European studies, this book is a compelling resource for uncovering the intricacies of social forces at play in a rapidly changing world.
