Reviews

'The book reveals how identity and legitimacy are interconnected: identity conditioning legitimacy and memory constructing European identity. Imagining Europe acknowledges that Europe is often divided into north-south or east-west perspectives.' Emilia Palonen, European Journal of Cultural and Political Sociology 'Imagining Europe offers an incisive critique of the limited success experienced by the European Union (EU), and its earlier incarnations, at generating a widespread sense of European identity.' Martin Hurcombe, The European Legacy
