Germany, France and the integration of Europe. A realist interpretation: A natural point of departure for a realist analysis of European integration is to concentrate on the major powers and their interests. In this context the role of France and Germany in fostering European integration is often noted. The empirical section of the book tries to assess whether France and Germany do in fact play the leading role in EU politics and asks why and how France and Germany try to lead the process of European unification. The book concentrates on the constitutive negotiations on the Single European Act in 1985 and the negotiations on the Maastricht Treaty in 1991, whilst putting the Franco-German role in European integration in a wider context.
