This book builds upon our knowledge of the far-reaching economic,
political and social effects of the Euro crisis on the European
Union by providing a unique study of European identities. In
particular, it considers the impact on the construction of European
identities in political and media discourse in Germany, Ireland and
Poland-three countries with profoundly different experiences of the
crisis and never before compared in a single study. Offering an
original insight into the dynamics of identity change at moments of
upheaval, the author argues that political and media actors in the
early stages of the crisis drew on long-standing identities in
order to make sense of the crisis in the public sphere. European
identity discourses are thus resilient to change but become central
to legitimising and contesting bailouts and further economic
integration. As such, the author challenges the commonly held view
that identities change dramatically at times of crisis but argues
that this very resilience helps to understand the EU's current
divisions. The study of identity during the Euro crisis sheds
important light on the prospects for European solidarity as well as
on the future of the single currency as an identity-building
project. The book will be of particular interest to students and
scholars in the fields of EU politics, comparative European
politics, and identity politics.

This open access book is the product of three years of academic
research that has been carried out in the EU-funded Jean Monnet
Network on "Post-Truth Politics, Nationalism and the Delegitimation
of European Integration" since 2019. Drawing on the
multidisciplinary expertise of the network's members, the book
explores the impact of the phenomenon of post-truth politics on
European integration and the European Union. It places particular
emphasis on how post-truth politics has played out in the public
sphere and asks what impact the phenomenon has had on public
deliberation, but reflects also on its implications for democracy
in a wider sense. This book is primarily written for audiences with
an interest in politics and policy making, including academics,
policy makers and civil-society actors. Thanks to its accessible
style, the book should however also be an asset to wider audiences.
