I'm at this - because obviously I am. #LSEJenkins pic.twitter.com/2QnukrZ465- #LSEJenkins A close up study on one man, one job says Ludlow
- Piers Ludlow begins: 'This was a pre-brexit book, it will be a pre-brexit talk. Although brexit questions are more than welcome' #LSEJenkins
- Ludlow: 1970s, a decade international historians still grappling with #LSEJenkins
'The project allowed me to interview members of EC that have shared the 4 years with Jenkins' says Ludlow #LSEJenkins pic.twitter.com/Q5oThnUBxD- #LSEJenkins Documents on EEC patchy to put it mildly, so writing a detailed study on Commission a hard task
- #LSEJenkins Ludlow: President of Commission cannot match the heads of states, but can play up expertise on the EEC design and set of rules
- #LSEJenkins important for launch of monetary system, southern european enlargement, British budgetary question
- #LSEJenkins A period of failure as well, lack of reform, good ideas but no practical result in budget, energy, single market in the 1970s
- #LSEJenkins: Most important achievements of Jenkins' presidency:Launch of European Monetary Systems; Greek enlargement; British budget issue
- #LSEJenkins: Reflections about the man: a flawed individual, he had some weaknesses that one can relate to - says Ludlow
- #LSEJenkins 1970s a moment of crisis for EC, but ingredients necessary for relaunch assembled during this period
- #LSEJenkins what kind of Europe? liberalised or dirigiste, political dilemma not resolved in the 1970s
- #LSEJenkins Delors right man at the right time, Jenkins was the right man at the wrong time
