Reviews
“In this fine contribution to a currently very topical field, Andrén’s approach is to contrast the dreams of European unity with the tensions and borders and differences within Europe; he maintains that they are both essential elements of the history of the idea of Europe … [and focuses] on ideas and attitudes and notions of civilization across the continent. One outstanding and very welcome feature is the detailed and analytical attention to an unusually wide range of primary sources.” • Michael Wintle, University of Amsterdam
Description
Presenting a new historical narrative on European integration and identity this title examines how the concept of Europe has been entangled in a dynamic and dramatic tension between calls for unity and arguments for borders and division. Through an in-depth intellectual history of the idea of Europe, Mats Andren interrogates the concept of integration and more recent debates surrounding European identity across the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and the post-war period. Applying a broad range of original sources this unique work will be key reading for students and researchers studying European History, European Studies, Political History and related fields.
