Abstract
This article is primarily concerned with the political
economy of British trade union policy towards the
European Community (EC) in the 1960s and 1970s. Its
aim is to reassess union engagement with the EC in this
period &om a viewpoint informed by the now established
perspective of world-order analysis in international
political economy (Cox, 1981; Lipietz, 1992; Gamble 81
Payne, 1996; Payne, 2005). The article is specifically
concerned with the re-evaluation in this light of two
notable but contrasting and substantially contradictory
perspectives on British unions and Europe: Dorfman
(1977) and Teague (1985, 1989, later incorporated into
Teague & Grahl, 1992). In its concluding section, the
article briefly considers the implications of this
reassessment for British union policy in relation to the
contemporary EU.
