description

In the last years, European identity has become a key issue for theory development as well as for quantitative and qualitative research in the social sciences (see the contributions of Westle and Datler et al. in this volume). Analysing European identity touches upon three related areas: 1) people identifying with Europe/the European Union (EU) and attributing meaning to it (individual/micro-level), 2) the aggregate effects of these individual orientations (macrolevel), and 3) the shared meanings people associate with Europe/the EU and identify with (macro-level).
