Description
Book SynopsisThis book offers an empirically-based view on Europeans' interconnections in everyday life. It looks at the ways in which EU residents have been getting closer across national frontiers. The book considers how people reconcile their increasing cross-border interconnections and a politically separating Europe of nation states and national interests.
Trade Review''An excellent example of systematic sociological enquiry of Europeanisation. The book makes a significant contribution to the study of European identities and to the geography of transnational ties in Europe.'' Gerard Delanty, University of Sussex
“Students of international politics, academics and politicians will find much to concern them in this well-constructed, balanced research project and, it is to be hoped, will also heed the warnings it exposes.” Journal of Community Engagement and Scholarship
