GERARD DELANTY
A critical analysis of the idea of Europe and the limits and possibilities of a European identity in the broader perspective of history. This book argues that the crucial issue is the articulation of a new identity that is based on post-national citizenship rather than ambivalent notions of unity.
The ambivalence of Europe - a theoretical introduction; the origins of the idea of Europe; the westernization of Europe; the limits of Europe - the shifting frontier; Europe in the age of modernity; Europe in the mirror of the Orient; the crisis of European identity; Europe as a Cold War construction; Europe after the Cold War; conclusion - towards post-national citizenship.
