From early Cold War support by the United States for European integration in order to enhance regional security and economic recovery from the ravages of World War II to the creation and current challenges of the Soviet Union, Dinan (public policy, George Mason U.) offers a history of European political and economic integration. He stresses the importance of national interests as an explanatory mechanism for integration over the existence of "Euro-idealism," but allows that a felicitous combination of pragmatism and idealism were necessary for the undertaking to succeed.
