What makes people identify with Europe? To answer this question,
this book analyzes the development and determinants of a common
European identity among EU citizens from the Maastricht Treaty in
1992 to the recent financial and economic crisis. The author
examines citizens' identification with Europe for all EU member
states, and systematically explores the theoretical and empirical
implications of two turning points in the recent history of EU
integration, namely the EU's enlargement to Central and Eastern
Europe in 2004/2007 and the financial and economic crisis that
started in 2008. The book integrates theoretical approaches to
European identity in sociology, social-psychology and EU public
opinion research in a comprehensive model for explaining individual
identification with Europe. The empirical analysis employs a
multilevel framework to systematically assess the influence of
individual characteristics and the political, economic, and social
context on citizens' feelings of identity. The long analysis period
spanning from 1992 to the present allows inferences to be drawn
about the long-term developments in the sources of European
identification as well as the immediate impact of EU enlargement
and the crisis on the determinants of European identification.
