Jacques Delors has been the most successful President of the European Commission in the history of the European Community. The events of his time in Brussels may have constituted the best chance yet to create a new supranational order to consolidate European political and social arrangements. "Jacques Delors and European Integration" reconsiders the last decade of EC history, and the Maastricht period in particular, from the point of view of Delors's unfolding strategy. The book's data sources include the author's observations of the Delors Commission staff and access to key personnel and documents. The author explores the ways in which Delors and his team tried to capitalize upon the complex openings in Europe's political opportunity structures from mid-1980s. The "1992" program to complete the Single Market galvanized European energies and contributed to renewed optimism. Maastricht and its sequels have proven less successful. "Jacques Delors and European Integration" follows processes around the Maastricht Treaty from inside, observing the complex system of European institutions at work. What kind of turning point will Maastricht turn out to be? The book attempts to reach a conclusion about what, in retrospect, will certainly be seen as one of the most daring experiments at transnational politics of modern times.
