Product Description
Review
"'Europolis is an original and timely work. Now that the quest for a formal EU constitution has proven not to be the Holy Grail for greater regional integration, Patrizia Nanz argues theoretically (and explores empirically) that what Europe really needs is something she calls "situated constitutional patriotism" that is rooted not in a presumed unitary demos, but in the continuous translation and negotiation between persistent demoi.' Philippe C. Schmitter, European University Institute & Central European University"
Product Description
This book offers a highly original approach to European integration by synthesising contemporary discussions about identity and institutions of the European Union with a theoretical approach to intercultural understanding. In the growing literature on European integration there is still a lack of understanding of the key political elements of this integration. In this study the author takes what is one of the most obvious assumptions about European integration - namely, that it involves convergence toward a common political identity, along with a common market - and argues that a continuously 'translated' and 'negotiated' divergence in identities is not only a more likely outcome, but could also be more beneficial for the eventual formation of a European public sphere and, hence, a viable and legitimate democracy on a continental scale. Nanz presents the idea of a European public sphere as a multiplicity of ongoing cross-cultural civic dialogues, which may serve as a conceptual tool for current research on new forms of European governance arrangements.
