Europe Without Borders

Europe Without Borders: Remapping Territory, Citizenship, and Identity in a Transnational Age by Mabel Berezin and Martin Schain The creation of the European Union in 1992 marked a significant shift in the continent's economic, political, and cultural landscape. As national borders dissolved and transit restrictions eased, fundamental concepts such as national sovereignty and citizenship underwent a radical reevaluation. This book brings together leading experts from diverse fields to explore the intersection of identity and territory in the new Europe. Contributors examine how Europeans perceive themselves in relation to national identity, whether they identify as citizens of a particular country or members of a larger entity, and how both natives and immigrants experience national and transnational identity at the local level. The essays also investigate the impact of globalization on national culture and the notion of the nation-state. Theoretically sophisticated and empirically informed, these essays offer insights into an emerging global phenomenon with profound implications for politics, society, and economics in Europe and beyond.
