Abstract
[From the Introduction]. The central concern of this paper is a stocktaking of theories of regional integration applied to the European Community (EC). Many will not envy us the task. Given the multiplicity of different approaches, the incommensurability of many concepts, and the arguable historical novelty of the EC, perhaps we would be better off to describe what is happening as best we can, and postpone theoretical explanations until a later day. Without denying either the value of descriptive work or the difficulty of devising satisfying explanations, in the paper we direct our attention to codifying our theoretical past and making some suggestions for the future.
