"Integration at the End?" is a reading book about the course of European unification and its impact on Switzerland. How did the federal government and the public respond to the various challenges? Seventy contributions reflect the successes and setbacks of a development that has rarely been straightforward to this day. How did European integration begin after World War II? Why is only Churchill's speech from September 1946 remembered, rather than the European Rütli rally? How has the integration process affected neutral Switzerland? Why did it demand the sealing off of the connecting corridors between the OEEC and NATO headquarters? Which part of Africa was included in the EEC's territory at its founding? Why did France refuse to host the EFTA in Paris? How did it happen that the Federal Council submitted an application for EU membership almost overnight in 1992?.
