- W2036633702 abstract "166 SAISREVIEW government, it is appropriate that Sbragia ends the volume with a chapter on models with which to predict the states' future role in EC policymaking. She correctly asserts that in the post-Maastricht world, it is more appropriate to talk of member states, than of nation-states, even if the decisions made at the meeting do not go into effect as quickly as planned. The real question will be how to get the member states to cede the veto power they now hold over major EC decisions. Sbragia should have expanded this discussion to suggest how strong suònational units within member states like the German Länder would be accommodated. While Euro-Politics admits that it does not aim to be an all-inclusive study of EC policy areas, chapters on the highly contentious areas of trade and strategic policies might have been included. Euro-Politics also would have done well to explain exactly why it is such a bad mistake for Americans to think of Europe as merely a free trade zone or a replica of the U.S. policymaking system. The book effectively explains how the EC is developing into an unidentifiable beast of a system that is hard for Americans to comprehend. But while EuroPolitics will help Americans understand the complexities of EC politics and policymaking, it does not directly address the implications of not understanding the evolving European system. The real reason to urge Americans to comprehend what is happening in Europe, only alluded to in the book, is to get them to wake up and prepare for the competitive challenge Europe is going to present for the United States in the future. Policymaking in the EC has proceeded this far and there is strong reason to believe it will achieve its goal of building a much more economically viable Europe. In other words, EC policymaking may appear complicated to Americans, but will represent a distinct economic advantage in the future because it is more progressive and dynamic than politics on the other side of the Atlantic. However, this missed opportunity to take the book's argument one step further does not invalidate the point Euro-Politics makes so well: that the way policy is made and carried out in the EC defies a specific model. Instead, it is a complex blend ofboth supranationalist and domestic political forces, and it is still evolving. Because ofthe validity ofthis argument and the quality ofthe analysis that accompanies it, Euro-Politics belongs on any serious Europhile's shelf. Taking Europe Seriously. By Simon Serfaty. New York: St. Martin's Press, 1992. 188 pp. $35/Hardcover. Reviewed by T. Sean Ryan, MA., SAIS, 1992. Simon Serfaty has written a timely book in an interpretive style that is truly his own. His discussion of the inception, development and possible future of the European Community is both interesting and informative. It is appropriate that Taking Europe Seriously has been written at a time when the forces that helped form and shape the community are being radically altered. Serfaty organized the book around the political, economic and security dimensions that have and will continue to shape Europe. The discussion builds BOOK REVIEWS 167 upon two fundamental findings: The first is that the movement toward European unity responds to a logic that has proved, over four decades, as relentless as it has been flexible. The second ... is that the external conditions that have permitted European integration to proceed as far as it has, and yet have also impeded its going further, have now begun to dissipate ... European integration has moved too far to be delayed too long, and the journey has proceeded far too long to avoid moving further. Thus, Serfaty reasons, it is necessary to examine what new matrix of forces will be shaping Europe and how they will impact this process. The idea of Europe developed around the need to find a solution to the problem of Germany's unsettling dynamism, a solution based on an historic reconciliation between France and Germany. The Europe advocated by Winston Churchill at Geneva in September 1946 and vigorously supported by Jean Monnet, Paul-Henri Spaak and others would seek to harness German..." @default.
