Abstract	Recent historical events have made it increasingly important to strengthen the study of Western Europe in U.S. schools. With full integration of the European Community after 1992, with the unification of the two Germanys, and with the newly democratic states of the old Soviet bloc seeking some form of association with the European Economic Community, Western Europe will inevitably continue to affect our lives in significant ways. And yet the speed and complexity of the changes that are taking place make it difficult for educators to gain access to recent relevant information and to develop coherent teaching programs about Western European affairs. This ERIC Digest (1) discusses why students should learn about Western Europe; (2) suggests where Western European studies belong in the curriculum; (3) outlines strategies for teaching the subject; and (4) lists a selection of key sources of information.
