Europe 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?'
