Abstract

Historiography has acknowledged that the level of entanglements between European nation-states was quite advanced before 1914. Indeed, historians were able to confirm a high level of cooperation at the legal, social, technical and even political levels. However, the exact level of economic integration has hitherto been unknown. In this section, we quantitatively analyse the level of economic integration in Europe. We use a comprehensive economic integration index for the period of 1880–1913. By exploiting existing and newly available databases, we quantitatively analyse the long-term development of European economic integration for fifteen European countries. The index reveals that economic integration was a characteristic trait of Europe, but outer European countries also became powerful players in Europe.
