OverviewTransforming the European Nation State provides a comprehensive introduction to the key political issues and concepts that characterize the contemporary study of Europe. Kjell Goldmann introduces and maps the complex interaction between internationalization, state, nation and democracy to advance a new conceptual framework for the study of political change in Europe. Part one explains the dynamics of processes of internationalization and globalization. Part two assesses the impact and implications for nation-states, national identities and political cultures. Part three addresses the debates and issues around new forms of international democracy and European citizenship. Throughout the text, theoretical ideas and concepts are accessibly introduced and illustrated with a wide range of empirical examples from across contemporary Europe. This timely volume is based on a course option taught in the Department of Political Science at Stockholm University, and the material has been extensively used and reworked via class use and feedback.
