Legitimation in the European Union

Más información sobre el libro

Exploring the construction of political legitimacy within the European Union, this book examines the controversy surrounding the EU constitution through Polish and French media. It highlights how political authority transforms when moving from multilateral negotiations to national discourse. By integrating Critical Discourse Analysis, Bourdieu's theories, and political thought, it offers a framework for studying legitimation and Europeanisation. The work is valuable for students of European integration and discourse researchers, emphasizing the interplay between text analysis and broader political dynamics.
