Britain’s relationship with the EU from the economic crisis of the 1970s to the present day. The Austrian path to the EU as the model of a country which has the will and the proper background for accession. Austria and “the Six” in the 1950s and 1960s. Austrian efforts at joining the EU from 1961 to the European Economic Area. The actual process of integration. Swiss attempts at a specific model. The concept of “liberalisation without integration”, the concept of “passive integration”. Swiss neutrality and the limit to its applicability. Closer ties to the EU without joining. Switzerland “encirlcled”. Attempts at “bilateral treaties” and their unsuitability. The accession of the northern countries.
