The Treaty of Rome, which established in 1957 the European Economic Community (EEC), is not ideologically neutral. On the contrary, it takes root in a particular conception of political economy: neo-liberalism. To understand their relationship, & how this particular view was institutionalized in a common European market, this article explores the visions of the economy carried by the promoters of European integration since the 1940s up to the period of treaty negotiations. It explains that the neo-liberal character comes from the pre-existence of a group located in the "border spaces," between the administrative & academic worlds, between the national & international level, who played a key role in the genesis of the Treaty. It describes a series of "ratchet effect" that induce a progressive reduction of the space of thinkable about the prospect of a customs union based on free market economy, & exposes the particular context in which political leaders have been able to conduct out the project of founding a new European social order.
