is imbued with a multitude of social, cultural, economic and political
meanings. The authors of this comprehensive text present an
authoritative yet accessible introduction to understanding Europe today,
moving beyond accounts of European integration to provide a holistic
and nuanced study of contemporary Europe and its historical development.
This book explores evolving definitions of Europe from
antiquity, to the Cold War, right through to Europe in the midst of the
Eurozone and global financial crises. By examining the different roles
and meanings that Europe has held inside and outside of the continent,
including the European Union's 'branding' of Europe, the text grounds
its analysis in an understanding of Europes plural. Chapters explore
concepts of Europe as civilization, Europe as progress, Europe as unity
and Europe as diversity.
How do Europeans think of themselves
and their respective national identities in a multicultural and
multi-ethnic age? How has modernity and the pre- and post-industrial
values of Europe affected the Europe of now and what are the political
legacies of Europe? To what extent are notions of social solidarity
shared across the continent? This is the first text to systematically
answer these questions, and others, in order to better determine 'what
is Europe?'
