Trenz introduces a sociological perspective on European integration
by looking at different accounts of Europeanization as society
building. He observes how Europeanization unfolds in ongoing
practices and discourses through which social relations among the
Europeans are redefined and re-embedded. The chapters describe how
the project of European integration has been powerfully launched in
postwar Europe as a normative venture that comprises polity and
society building, how this project became ingrained in every-day
life histories and experiences of the Europeans, how this project
became contested and confronted resistances and, ultimately, how it
went through its most severe crisis. A sociology of European
integration is thus outlined along four main themes or narratives:
first, the elite processes of identity construction and the
framework of norms and ideas that carries such a construction
(together with notions of European identity, EU citizenship, etc.);
second, the socialization of European citizens, processes of banal
Europeanism, and social transnationalism through everyday
cross-border exchanges; third, the mobilization of resistance and
Euroskepticism as a fundamental and collectively mobilized
opposition to processes of Europeanization; and fourth, the
political sociology of crisis, linked not only to financial turmoil
but also, more fundamentally, to a legitimation crisis that affects
Europe and the democratic nation-state.
