Reviews

The appeal of pan-European identity construction to Europe's diverse peoples has been axiomatic in European studies. Markus Thiel's wide-ranging research into attitudinal data, individual citizen reactions, and media coverage bearing on transnational identification paints a picture of a European Union stumbling towards identity consensus rather than sprinting towards it. His in-depth case studies of Ireland, Britain, and Germany reveal how at best a bounded transnationalism--and at worst an old-school protective nationalism--are more probable identity responses than inclusive transnationalism and European cosmopolitanism. Euro-optimists will be chastened by Thiel's incontrovertible evidence highlighting the uneven movement towards convergence around European identity. --Raymond Taras, Willy Brandt Professor, Malmo University and Professor of Political Science, Tulane University<br>
