Altiero Spinelli - European Federalists

These contributions were requested by the European Parliament's Committee on
Constitutional Affairs. John Pinder's paper was also published elsewhere (Altiero Spinelli’s
European Federal Odyssey, The International Spectator, Vol. 42, No. 4, December 2007, 571–
588)

The papers presented here were submitted for a symposium organised by the
Committee on Constitutional Affairs in September 2007. They were reprinted at the
occasion of a commemoration of Spinelli's 100th anniversary which took place in
the European Parliament on 5 March 2009, in cooperation with the Lazio region.
