Abstract: Nationalism both within the European Economic Community and in nations outside the EEC framework is diluting the effectiveness of European unity movement in stimulating international co-operation. Isolation tendencies in the EEC, residual in the political parties that opposed Euro pean union, threaten to disintegrate the Community. At the same time, the rising wall of tariff exclusiveness and plans for a Europe-Africa preferential trade zone manifest a nationalism that infuses the entire EEC. Nationalism on both the nation- state and the Community-wide bases makes the EEC a divisive force in the world. Persistence of nationalism is largely re lated to the small number of members in EEC. The establish ment of the Community was a miscalculation which calls for new policies by countries which are not EEC members.
