Enlargement and Transformation of the EU-NATO-CE Regime: A macro-Historical Approach to the Contemporary European International Order

该项目旨在在安全、经济和身份认同的更广泛背景下重新考虑欧洲建设的性质。在过去的三年里，我们从历史上考察了欧盟-北约-欧共体这一复杂体系的起源、转变和可能的终结。只有这样，我们才能对欧洲的现状和未来作出初步的结论。我们从历史的角度——也就是现实的角度——考虑了欧盟的重要性和范围，而不是主流观点，即欧盟正在取代传统的民族国家，欧盟的发展只能通过制度建设的步骤来追溯。通过这个项目，我们分析了原始的历史材料，将这个实体提升为一个严肃的史学主题。我们出版了一本关于欧洲一体化历史的开创性著作（名古屋出版社）。然后，我们汇集了具有历史重要性的项目，并附有注释的解释，强调下个月到期的复杂政权的诞生和转变。为了评估所有这些成就，我们在9月初组织了一次国际研讨会，现在我们对未来的研究方向有了一些线索。

This project is designed to reconsider the nature of the European construction within the wider contexts of security, economy and identity. We have over the past three years examined the origins, transformations, and possible termination of the complex system of the EU-NATO-CE regime, historically. Only in this way can we reach a tentative conclusion on where Europe stands, and whither.We tackled the task of historically-thus realistically-considering the weight and scope of the EU, against the dominant view that the EU is replacing the traditional nation-states, and that its development can be traced only through the steps of institutional building.With this project we analyses the primary historical materials, elevating the entity to a serious subject of historiography. We have published a seminal work on history of European integration (Nagoya UP). Then we have assembled the items of historical importance, with annoted explanations stressing the birth and transformation of the complex Regime, which is due next month. To assess all these accomplishments, we organized an international symposium in early September, with which we now have clues on the directions of the future research.
