The book addresses contemporary developments in European identity
politics as part of a larger historical trajectory of a common
European identity based on the idea of 'solidarity'. The authors
explain the special sense in which Europeans perceive their
obligations to their less fortunate compatriots, to the new East
European members, and to the world at large. An understanding of
this notion of 'solidarity' is critical to understanding the
specific European commitment to social justice and equality. The
specificity of this term helps to distinguish between what the
Germans call "social state" from the Anglo-Saxon, and particularly
American, political and social system focused on capitalism and
economic liberalism. This collection is the result of the work of
an extremely distinguished group of scholars and politicians,
invited by the previous President of the European Union, Romano
Prodi, to reflect on some of the most important subjects affecting
the future of Europe.
