Empire and maps are mutually reliant phenomena and traceable to the
dawn of civilisation. Furthermore, maps retain a supremely
authoritative status as unquestioned reflections of reality. In
today's image-saturated world, their influence is more powerful now
than at any other time in history. This book argues that in the
21st century we are seeing an imperial renaissance in the European
Union (EU), a political organisation which defies categorisation,
but whose power and influence grows by the year. It examines the
past, present, and future of the EU to demonstrate that empire is
not a category of state but rather a collective imagination which
reshapes history and appropriates an artificial past to validate
the policies of the present and the ambitions of the future. In
doing so, this book illuminates the imperial discourse that
permeates the mass maps of the modern EU. This text will be of key
interest to students and scholars of political science, EU Studies,
Human Geography, European political history, cartography and visual
methodologies and international relations.
