This review article is concerned with a series of six books published by Palgrave Publishing House between 2013 and 2019 under the label Making Europe. The series provides new perspectives on the development of European integration based on the history of technology. The authors believe that obvious teleological narratives based on political history are no longer acceptable. They also reflect the prevalent periodisation of European integration history since 1945. Instead, they put forward the concept of the "long twentieth century" (1850-2000). They believe that from this point of view it is easier to demonstrate the long-standing continuities of European cooperation. This review article focuses especially on the theoretical and conceptual issues which appear in all volumes of the series.
