L'Etat général des fonds d'archives présente l'ensemble des fonds déposés à ce jour à la Fondation: archives d'associations, d'institutions et de mouvements, archives de personnes, imprimés et photocopies, périodiques, recherches et travaux inédits. Cet aperçu est utilement complété par la présentation des activités de la Fondation, des conditions d'accès et de dépôt, ainsi que par des annexes indiquant – les fonds d'archives de personnalités fédéralistes, internationalistes et pacifistes déposés en Suisse, – les fonds d'archives de quelques associations et protagonistes du débat fédéraliste déposés dans les pays de l'Union européenne.

Le Guide de recherche, 'Pan-Europe' (1923) et le mouvement paneuropéen, présente les sources disponibles relatives aux idées de Coudenhove-Kalergi et aux mouvements qu'il avait inspirés.

MILWARD (with the assistance of George Brennon and Frederico Romero). – The European Rescue of the Nation-State. London, Routledge, 1992, p. xvi + 477, (62 tables, 4 figures). ISBN 0-415-08141-6. In the second of his trilogy on the origins of European integration, 1 Milward expands his earlier work concerning the inability of many traditional approaches to explain the origins and development of the European Communities. In a persuasive and thought-provoking first chapter, he makes three broad assertions concerning these origins. First, and most crucially, that the prevailing political and public debate about the subject has been side-tracked by the illusory notion, that the institutions of integration and the nation-states of Western Europe have been engaged in a zero-sum game, whereby the advance of one necessarily implies the retreat of the other. Second, that the "true origins of the EC are economic and social". Finally, that the only way to discern these truths is through detailed, historical analysis. Hence the juxtaposition of history and theory in the title of the first chapter, and the caustic comment, that much "of the theorising about interdependence and integration tends to be a piquant but watery soup through which the historian hunts in vain for solid scraps of nutriment" (p. 20). His desire to rectify this lattermost failing is the most apparent. The enormity of the effort that went into the writing of the book is impressive. Based on research, we are proudly informed in the preface, in the archives of eight countries, as well as of the EC itself, it provides a huge mass of primary evidence. This in itself represents a useful and necessary palliative to the tendency (especially amongst North American scholars) to base theoretical observations on European integration on insubstantial, if not non-existent, empirical evidence. From this detailed empirical investigation emerges a view of integration far more subtle than those arrived at by more abstract studies. Particularly interesting is the way in which the book reveals profound and important differences not only between the countries directly or indirectly involved in the early years of the integrative project, but also the different natures of the various economic sectors affected by the move towards supranationalism. This marks a timely counter-attack against those writers who have tended to lump together "functional" economic sectors as equally ripe for integration, or to assume that the same integrative pressures are at work on all states. Thus, Milward highlights the importance of the fact that farming lobbies were both institutionalised and entrenched by the time it came to negotiate the Common Agricultural Policy; that national attitudes towards the issue of subsidies for coal corresponded to a country's position as a net importer or exporter of that commodity; that the influential position of the City helps to explain British emphasis on currency issues rather than on trade and industry. Milward thus realises what many theories have not – that domestic politics and domestic policy preferences play a huge role in shaping the integrative project. An emphasis on the detail of national bargaining positions based on particular interests in particular sectors also helps to dispel the notion, that high-minded idealism lay at the root of the moves towards integration. Milward underlines the fact that governments bargained on the basis of perceived national interests. In a stimulating chapter on the much-admired "fathers" of integration, he makes the valid point that even (indeed especially) figures such as Monnet were as preoccupied with the notion of national reconstruction as with that of supranational institution building. When addressing the origins and functioning of the European Coal and Steel Community, he underlines that even the much-revered High Authority acted as a body within which its members could argue in favour of the national interests of their own state. 1.
