European Identity Revisited
It has been argued that the emergence of a European collective identity would help overcome growing disparity caused by the increasing diversity of todays European Union, with 28 member states and more than 500 million people.
Research on European integration is facing the pressing question of what holds Europe together in times of crisis, growing distributional conflict and instability in its neighbourhood. This book departs from the ideas of group cohesion in the EU and reflects on the newest dynamics and practices of European identity. Whilst applying innovative qualitative, quantitative and experimental research methods and an interdisciplinary approach, this volume looks at a variety of issues such as European citizenship, mobility of European citizens, space-based identities, dual identities, student identity and value-sharing. In doing so, this volume presents new perspectives on this complex and dynamic subject and points to potential solutions both in the academic discourse and in the political practice of the EU.
This text will be of key interest to scholars and students of European integration, European studies, international relations, citizenship studies, political sociology, as well as more broadly in the social sciences.
