Description
This volume addresses a range of issues which underlie the notions of European identity. Among them are: what does it mean to be a European? What ideologies have shaped the political debate over the last two centuries? What place will minorities find in the Europe of the 21st century? What roles will women play in the future communities? Will Europe become more open to diversity, or become increasingly introspective, a "fortress Europe"?
