From the Archives: Britain's Imperative

As the United Kingdom decides its future in the European Union, the Journal takes a look back to the first time the UK applied for membership in the EEC.

This article was originally published in the Journal of International Affair's print edition, Vol. 16, No. 1 in 1962.
