Globalisation vs. Sovereignty? The European Response: The 1997 Rede Lecture and Related Speeches and Articles

This is a selection of speeches by Sir Leon Brittan, Vice-President of the European Commission, headed by the text of his 1996 Rudy Lecture (given in the University of Cambridge) dealing with the process of European integration within the context of increasing economic globalization. Unlike standard texts on the European Union, these speeches provide a fascinating insight into many of the most important and controversial issues of the day from one of the most senior "insiders" on the European stage.
