The Role of EU Policies in the Making of the European Public Sphere Hakan G. Sicakkan IndexReviews'Integration, diversity, and the European public sphere are not just concepts put together in this outstanding book - these are the most burning issues of our time. In the light of the global financial crisis, the crisis of the Eurozone, the refugee crisis and, most recently, the British exit from the European Union, observers might think that crises are the best indicators of the rise of a European public sphere. However, this thought-provoking collection of studies, edited by Hakan G. Sicakkan, offers a much deeper investigation of dimensions of the problem of a European public sphere. This book is an eye opener, and should be read by all who are interested in the future of the European idea.' -- Andras Bozoki, Central European University, Hungary 'Integration, diversity, and the European public sphere are not just concepts put together in this outstanding book-these are the most burning issues of our time.
