THE EUROPE ILLUSION: BRITAIN, FRANCE, GERMANY AND THE LONG HISTORY OF EUROPEAN INTEGRATION
Book ID/图书代码： 14932919C00006
English Summary/英文概要： In The Europe Illusion, Stuart Sweeney considers Britain’s relationships with France and Prussia-Germany since the map of Europe was redrawn at Westphalia in 1648. A timely and far-sighted study, it argues that integration in Europe has evolved through diplomatic, economic, and cultural links cemented among these three states. Indeed, as wars became more destructive and economic expectations were elevated these states struggled to survive alone. Yet it has been rare for all three to be friends at the same time. Instead, apparent setbacks like Brexit can be seen as reflective of a more pragmatic Europe, where integration proceeds within variable geometry.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 在《欧洲幻觉》一书中，斯图尔特•斯维尼阐述了自1648年欧洲地图在威斯特伐利亚重新绘制以来，英国与法国、普鲁士和德国的关系。这是一项及时而有远见的研究，它认为欧洲一体化是通过这三个国家之间的外交、经济和文化联系而发展起来的。事实上，随着战争变得更具破坏性和经济期望值的提高，这些国家难以独自生存。然而，这三个人同时成为朋友是很少见的。相反，像英国退欧这样的明显挫折，可以被视为一个更加务实的欧洲的反映，在欧洲，一体化是在可变的几何结构中进行的。（WYL）
