Informationen zum Autor Roland Vogt Klappentext Making sense of the perplexing diversity of Europe is a challenging task. How compatible are national identities in Europe? What makes Europe European? What do Europeans have in common? European National Identities explores the diversity of European states! nations! and peoples. In doing so! the editors focus on the origins and elements of different national identities in Europe and different themes of national self-understanding.

This work grounds European national identities within cultural! historical! and political dynamics! which makes the work approachable for many readers! including historians! sociologists! and political scientists.

This book draws particular attention to identity shifts and conflicts within individual European countries.
