This article examines some of the key factors underlying the emergence and stabilization of a positive TUC assessment of the European Union in the 1980s and 1990s. The main focus of the article is on the transformation of TUC economic thinking from the inward-looking nationalistic perspective of the Alternative Economic Strategy towards a perspective which increasingly acknowledged global constraints and imperatives and thus refocused thinking about active economic policy towards the European Union level. The reevaluation of TUC economic policy was reinforced in recent years by the growing effectiveness of the EU as a regulative body able to undertake potentially progressive initiatives in a growing number of social and economic policy arenas. The article challenges the assessment of those, such as Teague and Grahl, who maintain that the TUC's current enthusiasm for the European Union may prove to be temporary. It also questions the assessment of those, such as Rosamond, who have maintained that the appearance of unity over Europe within the British union movement at the level of the TUC has served to mask the existence of underlying division over key areas of policy evident at other levels.
