Spanish Accession to the EEC: A Political Objective in an Economic Reality

Historians have usually seen the European Community as a natural place for Spain to be and not as a party with its own interests and rules, different from those of the governments in Madrid.

Les historiens ont souvent considéré la Communauté européenne comme l’horizon naturel de l’Espagne et non en tant que partie extérieure ayant ses propres intérêts et ses propres règles, différentes de celles des gouvernements à Madrid. Cet article se propose de recentrer l’analyse de l’intégration espagnole en la reliant à l’histoire plus large de l’élargissement de l’Union européenne, elle-même fortement influencée par la situation interne de chaque État membre. Si les changements sociaux, économiques et politiques dans l’Espagne postfranquiste conditionnent les approches, les objectifs et les stratégies de ses partenaires européens, il en va de même pour le délicat scénario économique international des années 1970, les dialectiques de la Guerre froide ou les calendriers électoraux dans plusieurs pays. Tout ceci sans oublier le conflit d’intérêt permanent entre les institutions supranationales et le Conseil européen.
