Transnational Identities

A welcome—and timely—contribution. Theoretically innovative and empirically rich case studies document the complex, uneven, and often surprising ways in which European identities are—or are not—changing. Transnational Identities will find a wide and appreciative audience among students of identity, Europeanists, and social scientists of various methodological orientations. -- Jeffrey T. Checkel, University of Oslo
Works like Transnational Identities go along way toward developing a pool of evidence which social scientist can examine and consider now, while future historians of late-twentieth century Europe will be able to explore for many years to come. This is an important and useful work for any scholars in the social sciences studying identity formation. -- Andrew D. Devenney, Central Michigan University * H-Net: Humanities and Social Science Reviews Online *
The book proves to be an insightful reading and makes a remarkable contribution to the academic debates on European political identity and European democratic governance. * Global and European Law Books Review Program *
This imaginative, multidisciplinary volume probes Europe's transnational identities by bringing together the work of political scientists, social psychologists, ethnographers, historians, and linguists. Differences in approach and findings convey a complex and nuanced understanding of central issues in European politics. Teachers and students interested in the evolving European polity will want to read this impressive collection. -- Peter J. Katzenstein, Cornell University
