Summary

Provides an introduction to the key political issues and concepts that characterize the contemporary study of Europe. This book maps the complex interaction between internationalization, nation state and democracy to provide a new basis for understanding political change in contemporary Europe. It introduces the concept of internationalization, considers how it relates to its near-synonoym, globalization, and explains the dynamics of the internationalization process; assesses the impact and implications for nation states, national identities and political cultures; and addresses the problem of making internationalized democracy work at national and European levels.
