Representations of European Citizenship since 1951

Más información sobre el libro

The book explores the evolving concept of European citizenship through five distinct phases as represented by the European Commission. Each phase—ranging from Homo Oeconomicus to Europe of Rights—reflects changing perceptions and communication strategies aimed at fostering a Civil Europe. By analyzing policy papers and interviews with past and present officials, it uncovers the complexities of European identity and the implications for belonging within the European community. The study reveals how these representations shape our understanding of what it means to be European.
