Reviews

The task of labelling European citizenship is finally boiled down to the question of collective identity - the driving theme of the book ... In sum, by unfolding the social dimension of European citizenship, this collection reveals the complexity and extent of the debate and conceptualises the tasks that lie ahead. Its great merit is to provide a full plethora of essential questions arising from current sketches of European citizenship. It is an invitation to further study rather than an attempt to answer. Collegium A stimulating and controversial volume of political science essays ... a good selection of contributions which go to the very heart of the European project as it affects us today ... The editors of this volume deserve to be acknowledged for providing such a rich source of ideas for discussion. Hopefully their collection will encourage more historians to participate in onging debates about the European project. History
