ABSTRACT

This study aims to explain the character of de Gaulle’s policy of the European integration, focusing on de Gaulle’s veto against the British accession to the EEC in 1961. De Gaulle was against the supranational method for European integration to which its 'Founding Fathers' of European were favorable. But when he personally led French European politics, he has not only accepted economic integration but also contributed to launch the common market and CAP. In the 1960s, in order to establish a great France, de Gaulle determined to go an european way instead of an imperial way and at the same time tried to build a ‘Europe for the benefit of France’. For this purpose, de Gaulle rejected the transnational European Community and chose the smaller Europe without the United Kingdom. De Gaulle’s European integration policy can be defined as the use of the European plan for the France.
