Mention the word Europe in today's society and you are greeted with
a range of responses, from impassioned debate, to scepticism and
outright hostility. Yet long before the emergence of the modern
European Union, the concept of Europe played a vital role in the
creation of national identity. This book considers the wealth of
contemporary and historical attitudes towards Europe and how these
vary both within and between nation-states.
Why are some countries 'Europhiles' whilst others are 'Europhobic'?
How has Europe alternately been perceived as a threat to local
culture and identity or as the core of nation-building? Why are
individual responses to Europe so diverse? Comparing and
contrasting experiences from twelve very different countries, the
authors explore the multitude of ways in which established national
discourses are reconciled with an emerging identity within the EU.
In doing so, this book makes an important contribution to what has
proved to be one of the most controversial and heated debates of
our time.
