Description: The History of the Idea of Europe by Jan van der Dussen, Kevin Wilson Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description An ideal text-book for students of European Studies, this collection of essays puts the idea of Europe in its historical context to provide a context for the understanding of contemporary developments. Publisher Description With the collapse of the Soviet Union, the re-emergence of central Europe and moves towards monetary, economic and political union within the European Union, Europe in the 1990s is at a crossroads. But what does Europe, and being European mean? What kind of Europe are we building and why? How does this new Europe relate to the Europe of the past? This book puts the idea of Europe in its historical context, tracing it back to the ancient Greeks and their association of Europe with political freedom. From this starting point the first essay shows how Europe became identified with Christendom in the fifteenth century and with civilisation in the eighteenth, before being used by nineteenth-century reformers and reactionaries for their different political purposes. Twentieth century developments are the focus for discussion in the last two essays. A number of projects for Europe are examined against the background of the two world wars, consideration is given to recent trends towards political and economic integration and an assessment is offered of the contemporary relevance of the European idea.Pim den Boer, University of Amsterdam, Peter Bugge, Aarhus University, Denmark and Ole Waever, Centre for Peace and Conflict Research, Copenhagen Author Biography Dussen, Jan van der; Wilson, Kevin Details ISBN 0415124158 ISBN-13 9780415124157 Title The History of the Idea of Europe Author Jan van der Dussen, Kevin Wilson Format Paperback Year 1995 Pages 224 Edition 1st Publisher Taylor & Francis Ltd GE_Item_ID:7308275; About Us Grand Eagle Retail is the ideal place for all your shopping needs!
