Summary, etc. Challenging Margaret Thatcher's championship of unfettered national sovereignty, Ernest Wistrich argues that the changes of 1992 will precipitate the transformation of the European Community into a full political and economic union, organized accord ing to federal principles. He finds evidence for this in the reforms already agreed and in the history of the Community's development.<br/><br/>In a thorough examination of its responsibilities in the monetary, economic, social and cultural spheres, the author traces the Community's progress towards its objective of European Union. He rec ommends further reforms that are needed to attain this objective and to ensure the competitiveness of the new Union within a world of rapid technolo al economic and political change. Wistrich goes<br/><br/>suggest ways in which national cultural diversities can be preserved within a federal structure, even as a common European identity is forged. In particular he introduces the principle of restricting federal powers to those matters that need common solutions and management, thus ensuring maximum auto nomy and self-government in local communities and regions. He also makes novel proposals for ending the East-West divide in Europe, and examines Europe's changing political and security interests within the Atlantic Alliance in response to Soviet reforms.<br/><br/>This book, which includes a foreword by the Rt Hon. Lord Jenkins, the former President of the European Commission, provides a lucid argument for the federalist case. Of particular interest to decision-makers in commerce and industry, and to politicians, the book will also be of value to all those interested in the economic, social and political implications of the single European market.
