The Concept of European Values: Creating a New Narrative for Europe
offers a philosophical analysis of the concept of European values
from its origin to the present day. This book rethinks European
values in light of the crises—economic, political, migration,
identity, and pandemic—that the European Union (EU) has faced
from 2008 until today and analyzes EU initiatives to create a new
narrative for Europe. Sanja Ivic reexamines the concept of European
values as well as the philosophical and political assumptions on
which this concept is based. In times of crisis, the EU has shown a
lack of solidarity. As evidenced by Brexit, the migration crisis,
and the pandemic crisis, the EU is experiencing a clash of national
and postnational norms and values. Ivic argues that the EU did not
react in accordance with the supranational values and principles on
which it is based, as stated in Article 2 of the Treaty on European
Union: respect for democracy, human dignity, freedom, equality, the
rule of law, and respect for human rights. Its reaction to these
crises shows a turn from postnational values (which the EU
advocated as a supranational political community) to nationalist
paradigms.
