European Review of International Studies! Vol. 2 (3)! 2015) Informationen zum Autor PhD (2007-2011) European University Institute (Italy), Department of History and Civilization, defended on 8 July 2011. - Thesis: Negotiating Europe: EU Promotion of Europeanness and Non-Institutional Actors since the 1950s - Supervisor: Prof. Kiran K. Patel - Examining board: Juan Díez Medrano (Universidad de Barcelona/Universidad Carlos III de Madrid), François Foret (Université Libre de Bruxelles), Rainer Bauböck (European University Institute), Kiran K. Patel (European University Institute/Maastricht University); Klappentext The book explores the promotion of Europeanness, which aims to arouse feelings of belonging to the European Union. It demonstrates that the promotion of Europeanness at the EU level does not constitute an overarching identity policy that imposes a homogenous interpretation of European identity. Rather, it is a process of negotiation in which various entrepreneurs of Europeanness within and outside the EU institutions invent and communicate representations of Europe. Both the negotiation and the multilayered representations of Europe that it produces are investigated through three case studies: the academia and the historians, European heritage, and the iconography of the euro.
