The European Union and the Rise of Regionalist Parties
Using a cross-national, quantitative study and a detailed case study of the pro-independence Scottish National Party, demonstrates that supranational integration and subnational fragmentation are related in theoretical and predictable ways. Posits that the EU makes smaller states more viable and politically attractive by diminishing the relative economic and political advantages of larger-sized states.
Europe's Contending Identities
This volume interrogates the implications of the persistence of nationalisms and newer, ethnic-religious identities for the emergence of a robust European identity. The collected essays intersect and are informed by the streams of scholarship on: contemporary ethnonationalism; the challenges associated with immigrant, particularly Muslim immigrant, incorporation; and the so-called new nationalism, including the illiberal ideas and policies promoted by extreme right political parties and groups.
The Right and the Nation
This book explores the influence of right-wing political cultures (including conservatism, political Catholicism, reactionary nationalism and fascism) on nation-building processes and the creation of national identities in modern times. The chapters extend the focus of analysis across the different cultures and movements of the Right, their broad geographical spread, as well as cultural factors. Adopting a transnational perspective, this volume highlights the significance of a series of processes – such as the growth of nationalist imaginaries and political cultures – that extended beyond national boundaries and were often articulated via cross-border dynamics. Special attention is paid ...
A Community of Europeans?
In A Community of Europeans?, a thoughtful observer of the ongoing project of European integration evaluates the state of the art about European identity and European public spheres. Thomas Risse argues that integration has had profound and long-term effects on the citizens of EU countries, most of whom now have at least a secondary "European identity" to complement their national identities. Risse also claims that we can see the gradual emergence of transnational European communities of communication. Exploring the outlines of this European identity and of the communicative spaces, Risse sheds light on some pressing questions: What do "Europe" and "the EU" mean in the various public debates...

This book offers a comprehensive treatment of the timely question of the politicization of European integration. It shows how this issue's complex linkages with traditional political divides pose a tough challenge to politicians and lead to bitter framing contests about its actual meaning.

Fragmentierte Nation - globalisierte Region?
Im Zeitalter der Globalisierung scheinen nationale Grenzziehungen an Bedeutung zu verlieren. Dennoch wird immer wieder die Forderung nach Eigenstaatlichkeit erhoben - so auch im spanischen Staat: in Katalonien und im Baskenland. Patrick Eser zeichnet die ideologische und programmatische Entwicklung der katalanischen und baskischen Nationalbewegungen in einer umfangreichen Darstellung nach. Wie schätzen diese Bewegungen die Globalisierung und die europäische Integration ein - als Chance oder als Bedrohung? Anhand ausgewählter Themenfelder (Europa, Einwanderung, ökonomische Globalisierung, kulturelle Identität/Metropolen) vermittelt die Studie einen vielfältigen Einblick in die Realität und jüngste Entwicklung der in den beiden Regionen sehr virulenten politischen Bewegungen.
