Description: Regional integration in Europe is challenged by the recent boost of globalisation. The origins are to be found in the {607}long" 1970s of European Integration History from 1969 to the mid-eighties which can be regarded as a period of adaption to global transformation processes. In part for the first time the volume deals with the EC's responses and strategies on the basis of recently accessible international archival sources. The contributions are dealing with the EC's opportunity for action with respect to East-West relations, North-South dialogue, relations to Asia and the new issues of interdependency as monetary, environmental or energy questions. On the whole, it becomes clear that globalisation since the 1970s did not go along with a loss of influence but rather with a realignment and strenghthening of the EC. .--
