European Citizenship and Social Integration in the European Union

Is social integration in Europe strong enough to overcome the recent European crisis? Based on a sophisticated sociological theory of European integration and on survey data from different European countries, this book argues that solidarity between the people of Europe is much stronger than some scholars and politicians might expect. This lends proof to the existence of the cultural foundations of a democratic Europe.
