THE EDUCATION POLICY OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
THE EDUCATION POLICY OF THE EUROPEAN UNION

Summary/Abstract: The Second World War and its consequences persuaded European countries to seek a new settlement, which would secure peace and move beyond the classic league of independent states. Most European governments realized the necessity of establishing a closer European collaboration than had existed before the war. This understanding eventually led to the Treaty of Rome and to the formation of the EC. The Maastricht Treaty of the European Union was the next major step towards European integration, though the concepts of integration still differ widely within the Member States. There is a single all-embracing theory of European integration. Rather, there are several different theoretical approaches: functionalist, neo-functionalist, pluralist, and federalist (Anderson, 1994).
