The creation of the European Union in 1992 reflected new
economic, political, and cultural realities on the continent. The
dissolution of national borders and the easing of transit
restrictions on people and goods with Europe, have contributed to a
radical rethinking of such basic concepts as national sovereignty
and citizenship. In "Europe without Borders," Mabel Berezin and
Martin Schain bring together leading experts from the fields
sociology, political science, geography, psychology, and
anthropology to examine the intersection of identity and territory
in the new Europe.
In this boldly interdisciplinary effort about the impact of
reconfiguration, contributors address such topics as how Europeans
now see themselves in relation to national identity, whether they
identify themselves as citizens of a particular country or as
members of a larger sociopolitical entity, how both natives and
immigrants experience national and transnational identity at the
local level, and the impact of globalization on national culture
and the idea of the nation-state. Theoretically sophisticated and
empirically informed, the essays explore an emerging global
phenomenon that will have profound political, social, and economic
consequences in both Europe and around the world.
