    Australia and the European Superpower: Engaging with the European Union
    MURRAY, PHILOMENA (Melbourne University Press, 2005)
    This book examines Australia’s contested engagement with the European Union (EU). Distance, myth and memory play their part. There is the myth of the British betrayal of Australia when it joined the EU. There is Europe’s reluctance to take seriously Australia’s vehement opposition to European agricultural protectionism. Intransigence, conflict and mutual misunderstanding feature on both sides.This book argues: first, the EU has wrought deep-rooted changes within its constituent states, in a process known as Europeanisation; second, the EU is a global player—albeit of uncertain nature—with increasing weight; and third, the EU is developing a global agenda that will have long-term implications for Australia.

    Factors for integration? Transnational party cooperation in the European parliament, 1952-79
    Murray, P (WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2004-03)
    The idea that supranational institutions of the European Union (EU) such as the European Parliament (EP) actively promote integration has been manifest in discourses of the European Community (EC) since the 1950s. There is less evidence that parties in the EP do so, partly because their existence at the European level is a relatively new phenomenon. It is also problematic, as these parties do not constitute a European party system above the state. The article traces the development of transnational cooperative links among the parties of the European Parliament from 1952 to 1979, and illustrates that, from the earliest stages of European Integration, party representatives participating in the newly established Assembly chose to adopt political stances, organisational structures and norms that were transnational and supranational in style and representation.
