englischEuroscepticism in the the European Union’s (EU) core, neo-fascism at its periphery, fiercely determined separatism in some regions – how do these phenomena go together, and what consequences bears their spread for the EU?

We claim that the different phenomena have in common their discursive foundation in two arguments: A self-other argument, defending culturally defined identities. It is joined by an economic argument against redistribution, aiming to secure the wealth of a community. The respective combination of the two arguments leads to different political projects for Europe, each coming with a particular institutional setup. They feed back on the European level and influence the integration process.

The volume contains case studies on Catalunya and Northern Italy, on Franco-German politics during crisis and conceptions of Europe amongst German citizens, as well as on consequences of these developments for the EU integration process.

»Der Band liefert wertvolle Hinweise, weil er verschiedene Stränge des europäischen Integrationsdiskurses zusammenführt... Insgesamt liefert der Band wichtige Anhaltspunkte, wie die Verkrustungen des integrationstheoretischen Europadiskurses aufgebrochen werden können, um endlich Abschied von der naiven Vorstellung eines beständig fortschreitenden Integrationsprozesses zu nehmen.«
