Integration, Diversity and the Making of a European Public Sphere


Add your own review!

Overview

Based on an extended agonistic pluralism perspective, this book offers a novel notion of a transnational public sphere that goes beyond the questions of whether a European public sphere exists or is possible and instead provides a solid understanding of its key features.

Reviews

'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
