Toward European Unity

In 'Toward European Unity', George Orwell argues for a federated Europe as the most practical and desirable political objective in the aftermath of World War II. He contends that closer political and economic integration would prevent future conflicts and counterbalance superpower dominance.

While not a book, the essay became influential among postwar intellectuals considering supranational solutions.

Orwell emphasizes democratic socialism as a guiding framework for such unity and critiques narrow nationalism.

The essay reflects contemporary debates about sovereignty, security, and the shape of postwar order.
