The book explores the views of elites alongside those of the wider
population in the European Union. The chapters place the new member
states and the potential candidate Serbia on the map of Europe in
this context for the first time. The volume's comparative method
goes beyond the standard old member states versus new member states
divide. It assesses regional differences within Central Europe and
evaluates the problem of European and national identity formation,
perception of external threats to the EU (including Russia),
differences between economic and political elite views about the
integration process and the connection between national performance
and public opinion about Europe. Even though, in each country,
positive views are dominant about the integration process,
heterogeneous views prevail behind the image of a unifying Europe.
The book 's major contribution is that it makes the new member
states more visible and provides hard evidence while remaining
theoretically driven. Furthermore, it covers the most important
topics that emerge in studies concerning European integration. The
book is intended for those interested in European integration in
general but Central and Eastern European comparativists will find
it particularly useful.
This book was published as a special issue of Europe-Asia
Studies.
