  • Passivity or Support? The European Free Trade Association (Efta), Eastern Europe and the End of the Cold War

    Open AccessMatthew BroadARTICLEJournal of Modern European History2025

    This article examines the path which led the member states of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) to support and assist in the democratic revolutions of 1989/90. Historians have increasingly acknowledged the role played by the European Community (EC) in helping countries unshackle themselves from Soviet control. By contrast, EFTA is barely featured. And yet by 1995, the Association had signed free trade agreements with nine former socialis…

  • Paying the Price for Allies

    Open AccessMatthew Broad, Richard T Griffiths et al.ARTICLEDiplomacy and Statecraft2023

    Few scholars would dispute that negotiations for the European Free Trade Association (EFTA), which formally commenced near Stockholm in June 1959, moved at breakneck speed. Generally acknowledged too are the reasons behind this haste: the need swiftly to find another route to working with the European Economic Community (EEC) following the collapse of the wider Free Trade Area (FTA) proposal, the degree of consensus already achieved by the Associ…

  • Deepening Ties but Unfulfilled Hopes

    Open AccessMatthew BroadARTICLEThe International History Review2021

    This article examines the evolution of the European Free Trade Association’s (EFTA) relationship with Yugoslavia during the reign of Josip Broz Tito. EFTA has largely been written out of accounts of Western Europe’s ties to Belgrade, despite being one of the two principal economic forums on the continent alongside the European Economic Community (EEC). This article, by contrast, posits that the relationship did matter. Notwithstanding its status …

  • Negotiating ‘outer Europe’

    Open AccessMatthew BroadARTICLEHistory of European Ideas2020Referencias: 29

    The 1950s were a frenetic moment in the European integration process during which the European Economic Community (EEC), the ultimately abortive Free Trade Area (FTA), and subsequently the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) were all negotiated. Trade unions showed keen interest in these schemes; moreover, their own highly institutionalised cooperation suggested they might come to play a key role in shaping them. And yet scholars have argued h…

  • Keeping your Friends Close

    Open AccessMatthew BroadARTICLEContemporary European History2016Referencias: 11

    The Nordic Economic Community (Nordek) was a short-lived and ultimately unsuccessful attempt to strengthen cooperation between the four Nordic states. While the importance of the project to Britain has often been overlooked, this article suggests that Whitehall took considerable interest from the start. It demonstrates how, although officially neutral, London sought first to mitigate the effects of Nordek, then to undermine its establishment and,…

  • Half-Remembered Quotations from Mostly Forgotten Speeches

    Open AccessMatthew Broad, Oliver DaddowARTICLEThe British Journal of Politics…2010Citada por: 10Referencias: 2

    This article uses discourse analysis to study the continuities in British foreign policy thinking within the Labour party from the 1960s to the present day. Using representative extracts from speeches by Hugh Gaitskell, Harold Wilson, Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, it identifies the ideational consistencies in the leaders' attitudes to: Empire; federalism in the EEC/EU; and laying down conditions that have to be met before any constructive engageme…
