Synopsis: Creating Europe tells the story of attempts to create Europe-wide institutions and organisations. It looks at the way that novels, science fiction, poetry, utopian literature, art, architecture and cinema have all been used to further this goal and also looks at the competing visions for Europe. The subject concludes with the creation of the European Communities and the step-by-step extension of the EEC, exploring the role of the arts in furthering this process.
