    How to Tell the History of European Integration in the 1970s: A Survey of the Literature and Some Proposals
    in Europe en formation (L') , n. 353-354, automne-hiver ,  2009 ,  13-38
    The “Seventies” are a controversial period, not only in European integration history: Was Europe in a crisis then, with a stagnating polity and the main policy projects stumbling? Or did it prove strong enough to overcome the constraints of the dollar-crisis, the oil-price shocks and the stagflation? Which are the main factors (and actors) underlying the economic and social malaise of these years? And which is their impact on European integration between the relaunch of “The Hague” (1969) and the Single European Act (1985/87)? Historians subdivise history into eras, periods, ages and epochs in accordance to the importance they attach to the one or the other of such factors. The article examines historical approaches under this angle and develops a proposal for periodisation of this crucial era of European integration history.
