Towards a Marxist theory of European integration

Extract

The significance of the European Communities (EC) remains obscure. The reason is that orthodox integration literature is fundamentally ahistorical: it fails to give an adequate account of the roots of modern European integration. And however admirable the project might be in itself, we cannot rectify the failure simply by chronicling the admittedly much ignored origins of the EC in the 1950s. For the EC is systematically connected to earlier cases of integration in Europe. Only by understanding the evolution of these integrational forms—from early modern Britain, to nineteenth century Germany, to contemporary Europe—can one begin to make sense of the EC. In brief, one must seek to understand the “present as history,” a task that few writers on regional integration have yet attempted, and none with any success.

12 I use the word “proto-capitalist” simply to designate a society in which capitalism is an emergent, but not yet dominant mode of production. It is thus analogous to the word “protoindustrialization” used by some economic historians to distinguish an environment that is already industrializing, but which is not yet dominated by industrial structures, from pre-industrial economies.

25 By legitimation I mean the process by which the politically relevant population actively or passively accepts the existing political arrangements and power structure—of which the state is a vital part—as suitable for its particular society. It is obviously closely connected to the diffusion of a dominant ideology.

26 The concepts of nationalism and nation-state are much abused. Strictly speaking, there have been few nation-states. Early so-called nation-states were in fact territorial states glued together by scattered elites: there was no nation or nationalism in the modern sense anywhere until after the American and French Revolutions. It was only then that the word “nation” became associated with a broadly defined idea of citizenship rather than with the person of the monarch. See Wallerstein, , The Modern World System (N.Y.: Academic Press, 1974), pp. 145–146.Google Scholar Some authors place nationalism in its modern sense first in the seventeenth century in the English Revolution.

This seems to me premature, since nationhood in the sense I have described did not exist then. Cf.

The direct link (via economic expansion and the postponement of the distributional question) between neofunctionalism and its classical liberal forebearers is well illustrated by Carr's observations on the 19th century “harmony of interests”: “The survival of the belief in the harmony of interests was rendered possible by the unparalleled expansion of production, population, and prosperity, which marked the hundred years following the publication of The Wealth of Nations and the invention of the steam engine. Expanding prosperity contributed to the popularity of the doctrine in three different ways. It attentuated competition for markets among producers, since fresh markets were constantly becoming available; it postponed the class issue, with it, insistence on the primary importance of equitable distribution, by extending to members of the less prosperous classes some share in the general prosperity; and by creating a sense of confidence in present and future wellbeing, it encouraged men to believe that the world was ordered on so rational a plan as the natural harmony of interests.” Carr, E.
