It uses methods of social research that were not available to historians of more remote times and that generally are not used to study our own time as "history." What we mean by history is the perspective that looks at the present as a temporal sequence from the past to the future. The study looks at Europe over the decade 1955-1965 in this perspective. To write contemporary history in this way, we have adapted that remarkable instrument of social research called the sample survey. In some of its varied uses, such as predicting the behavior of voters and shoppers, the sample survey has become a precision instrument unmatched in the annals of social observation. In the study of attitudes, where there is no specific "payoff" item such as a vote or a purchase to test inferences, no such degree of of precision is expected or claimed. Our aim was to learn how the elites of postwar Europe would face the reality of their diminished postwar power - as elites, as nations, as a continent - and how they would go about the tasks of positive construction." The part headings are: Contexts; Issues; Transformations; and Perspectives.
