L'Europe is a collection of texts by Raymond Aron brought together by the academic Joël Mouric. From the outset, he responded in the negative to ‘THE’ question, which from the Treaty of Rome onwards would be at the heart of an endless debate between specialists.

Can European institutions create a European people like the American Constitution created an American people? Demos or no demos? No demos! Aron did not vary on this point until his death in 1983. His Europe is a Europe of nations.
