International Problems and the Research on Process of the European Integration From the Establishment of the Communities to the Single European Act

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to, based on research topics that have been discussed in the context related to the European integration in the journal International problems in the period 1949-1990, consider the extent to which the Yugoslav science of international relations followed this process. The main thesis is that domestic science has studied all relevant aspects of the integration process and has kept pace with the times and with the key theoretical frameworks. After World War II, focuse was on the economic and political situation of Western European countries, their interests, as well as the security context in which were launched the first integration initiatives: German issue, Marshall plan, Cold war and bipolar world, the process of decolonisation, the failure of the European Defense Community and the establishment of the European Coal and Steel Community, European Economic Community and EURATOM. At the beginning of the 60s of the 20th century, great attention is devoted to the study of regional integration in general and its models, as well as the expected effects. Along with the slowdown in the European integration process in the late 60s and throughout the 70s, the attention of researchers gradually shifted to individual policies and initiatives of the European Economic Community: Common Agricultural Policy, development of regional policy, association agreements, Mediterranean policy, initiatives in the field of monetary integration. 80-ies of the last century is dominated by themes that have marked this decade in the process of European integration: factors for change in the European Economic Community, the initiatives for reform of the Treaty, Mediterranean enlargement, the Single European Act, the program of completing the internal market, changes in the social policy of the Community and measures to promote technological development and strategy for the industry. Along with the it, the focus was on the relationship of the United States and Western European countries, East-West relations, and relations of Yugoslavia with the Community.
