Entangled Identities de Willfried Spohn

Entangled Identities: Nations and Europe

Willfried Spohn

Atsuko Ichijo

Providing a comprehensive and comparative analysis of the way national and European identities are intertwined in old and new member states of the European Union, this volume assembles nine country case studies. Each country has experienced different processes of state formation, nation-building and democratization, thus they have each developed different forms of national identity and different patterns of interaction between national and European identities. The case studies illuminate the similarities and differences in how national and European identities have evolved among the nine countries. Rich in empirical data, the volume examines the historical entanglement of national and European collective identities and is therefore well suited for courses on European studies including European integration and enlargement, international relations and sociology.

Recenzii

'The volume addresses one of the most fundamental questions about the processes of European integration - the relationship between national and European identities...This is a unique collection which enables the reader to assess the influence of a wide range of factors - from economy to religion, geopolitics to ideology - in the process of national/European identity formation. It will be indispensable reading for undergraduate and graduate students of sociology, politics, international relations, and history. It will also have significant appeal to policy makers and journalists.' Professor Montserrat Guibernau, Queen Mary, University of London, UK 'One of the great merits of the book is that it gives much historical depth to contemporary debates about European integration...the book transcends the sterile opposition between neo-functionalist and intergovernmentalist accounts of the relationship between national and European identities.' Journal of Common Market Studies
