Why do we need European integration in increasingly fragmented and
antagonised European societies? How can European integration relate
to the national stories we carry about who we are as a nation and
where we belong? What to do with the national stories that tell
traumatising tales of past loss and sacrifice, and depict others as
villains or foes? Can we still claim that our national states are
the most legitimate way of organising European political
communities today? Engaging with these big questions of European
politics, Nevena Nancheva tells a small story from the periphery of
Europe. Looking at two post-communist Balkan states - Bulgaria and
Macedonia - she explores how their narratives of national identity
have changed in the context of Europeanisation and EU membership
preparations. In doing so, Nancheva suggests that national identity
and European integration might be more relevant than previously
thought.
