СКАЧАТЬ professor and stayed. European Integration: A Concise History, the previous edition of this book, was prepared and written during the first two years of my time at SAIS. I would particularly like to thank the two directors of the Center since 2010, Kenneth H. Keller and Michael Plummer, for much friendship and support. The presence on the faculty of Raffaella Del Sarto, Erik Jones, Michael Leigh, and Filippo Taddei ensures that SAIS retains its place as an important center for research and teaching on all aspects of European studies.

      Two other colleagues at SAIS have contributed more than they may realize to the development of this volume. Justin Frosini and I have taken our “roadshow” on Brexit all over Italy and have also collaborated on teaching and on a research article in the Journal of European Public Policy. Justin is as generous as the day is long and is much wiser than I am: I tend to take his advice. Christopher Hill has been an endless intellectual stimulus on matters European and a sympathetic friend.

      I began writing this book in January 2019 while on a sabbatical from SAIS as Visiting Research Fellow at Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge University. The nine weeks I spent in Cambridge were remarkably stimulating and productive: I can only thank the Master and Fellows of the College for making me feel so welcome. During my sabbatical, I also edited the German Yearbook of Contemporary History, the annual English-language publication of the IfZ in Munich. Eva Oberloskamp and Thomas Raithel, the co-editors, were a pleasure to work with and became friends.

      This book is the fifth I have written in conjunction with Susan McEachern of Rowman & Littlefield. As always, she has been a monument of patience and good sense.

      I am tempted to thank Boris Johnson, for “getting Brexit done” and enabling me to finish a manuscript that was scheduled to go to press in June 2019. My brother, Martyn, certainly approves of Mr. Johnson. Martyn is an ardent Euroskeptic, and I have passed many hours arguing with him about Brexit and, before that, Britain’s role within the “European superstate.” Ultimately, I don’t agree with most of his views, but there is no denying that he was a shrewder interpreter of the public mood in 2016 than most scholars of politics.

      Most of all, I would like to thank my wife, Luciana, and son, Francisco. Francis was an infant when the original edition came out and is now a student of medicine at Bologna University. Time flies. This book is rededicated to him and to the rest of our family in England and in Italy.
