Mapping Foreign Correspondence in Europe

Mapping Foreign Correspondence in Europe

The book studies the current trends of foreign correspondence in Europe. The EU’s expansion has had abundant effects on news coverage and some of the European capitals have become home to the biggest international press corps in world. So who are these professional strangers stationed in Europe and how do they try to make their stories that are clearly important in today’s interconnected world interesting for viewers and readers?This book represents the first Pan-European study of foreign correspondents and their reporting. It includes chapters from 27 countries and it aims to study them and the direction flow and pattern of their coverage as well as answer questions regarding the impact of new technologies on the quantity frequency and speed of their coverage. Do more sophisticated communications tools yield better international news coverage of Europe? Or does the audience’s increasing apathy and the downsizing of the foreign bureaus offset these advances? And how do the seemingly unstoppable media trends of convergence commercialization concentration and globalization affect the way Europe and individual European countries are reported? | Mapping Foreign Correspondence in Europe

Remaking Europe in the Margins Northern Europe after the Enlargements

Originally published in 2005. This comprehensive volume examines the issue of Europe-making related to the post EU/NATO enlargement and the post 9/11 situation. Dual enlargement and the War on Terrorism are raising important questions for various actors in Europe in particular what these developments will mean for the future of regional cooperation and the development of a regional subjectivity. Such concerns have been further compounded by America's distinction between 'New Europe' and 'Old Europe'. The volume analyzes at both policy and conceptual levels how the dual enlargement and the War on Terrorism will impact on regional cooperation in northern Europe. It examines how events in northern Europe have helped shape the nature of European space borders and governance including how the EU the US and Russia have each highlighted northern Europe as a special case to be utilized and learnt from in dealing with problems elsewhere in Europe and globally. Presenting original articles the volume will appeal to scholars of regional politics as well as security international relations theory and geopolitics. | Remaking Europe in the Margins Northern Europe after the Enlargements

What is Europe?

What is Europe?

This authoritative yet accessible introduction to understanding Europe today moves beyond accounts of European integration to provide a wide-ranging and nuanced study of contemporary Europe and its historical development. This fully updated edition adds material on recent developments such as Brexit and the migrant and Eurozone crises. The concept of Europe is instilled with a plethora of social cultural economic and political meanings. Throughout history and still today scholars writing on Europe and politicians involved in national or European politics often disagree on the geographic limits of this space and the defining elements of Europe. Europe is therefore first and foremost a concept that takes different shapes and meanings depending on the realm of life on which it is applied and on the historical period under investigation. At a given point in time depending on the perspective we adopt and the situation in which we find ourselves Europe may represent very different things. Thus we should better talk about ‘Europes’ in plural. What is Europe? explores these evolving conceptions of Europe from antiquity to the present. This book is all the more timely as Europe responds to the Russian invasion of Ukraine and Britain’s departure from the European Union financial slump refugee emergencies and the COVID-19 pandemic. This book offers a fully updated introduction to European studies from an interdisciplinary perspective. It is a crucial companion to any undergraduate or graduate course on Europe and the European Union.

Creating Europe from the Margins Mobilities and Racism in Postcolonial Europe

Creating Europe from the Margins Mobilities and Racism in Postcolonial Europe

This edited volume explores the idea of Europe through a focus on its margins. The chapters in the volume inquire critically into the relations and tensions inherent in divisions between the Global North and the Global South as well as internal regional differentiation within Europe itself. In doing so the volume stresses the need to consider Europe from critical interdisciplinary perspectives highlighting historical and contemporary issues of racism and colonialism. While recent discussions of migration into ‘Fortress Europe’ seem to assume that Europe has clearly demarcated geographic political and cultural boundaries this book argues that the reality is more complex. The book explores margins conceptually and positions margins and centres as open to negotiation and contestation and characterized by ambiguity. As such margins can be contextualized in relation to hierarchies within Europe with different processes involved in creating boundaries and borders between different kinds of Europes and Europeans. Deploying case studies from different places such as Iceland Italy Poland Spain Turkey the UK Romania Cyprus Greece Sicily European colonies in the Caribbean and the former Yugoslavia the contributors analyse how different geopolitical hierarchies intersect with racialized subject positions of diverse people living in Europe while also exploring issues of gender class sexuality religion and nationality. Some chapters draw attention to the fortification of Europe’s ‘borderland ’ while others focus on internal hierarchies within Europe critiquing the meaning of spatial boundaries in an increasingly digitalized Europe. In doing so the chapters interrogate the hierarchies at play in the processes of being and becoming ‘European’ and the ongoing impacts of race and colonialism. This timely and thought-provoking collection will be of considerable significance to those in the humanities and social sciences with an interest in Europe.

Europe and the East Historical Ideas of Eastern and Southeast Europe 1789-1989

Europe and the East Historical Ideas of Eastern and Southeast Europe 1789-1989

This volume investigates competing ideas images and stereotypes of a European ‘East’ exploring its role in defining European and national conceptions of self and other since the eighteenth century. Through a set of original case studies this collection explores the intersection between discourses about a more distant exotic or colonial ‘Orient’ with a more immediate ‘East’. The book considers this shifting imaginary border from different points of view and demonstrates that the location definition and character of the ‘East’ often associated with socio-economic backwardness and other unfavourable attributes depended on historical circumstances political preferences cultural assumptions and geography. Spanning two centuries this study analyses the ways that changing ideals and persistent clichéd attitudes have shaped the conversation about and interpretations of Eastern Europe. Europe and the East will be essential reading for anyone interested in images and ideas of Europe European identity and conceptions of the ‘East’ in intellectual and cultural history. | Europe and the East Historical Ideas of Eastern and Southeast Europe 1789-1989

Europe A Cultural History

Europe A Cultural History

Fully revised updated and extended to include the momentous developments of 2020 this fourth edition of Peter Rietbergen's highly acclaimed Europe: A Cultural History is a major and original contribution to the study of Europe. The book examines the structures of culture in this part of Eurasia from the beginnings of human settlement on to the genesis of agricultural society of greater polities of urban systems and the slow transitions that resulted in a (post-)industrial society and the individualistic mass culture of the present. Using both economic and socio-political analytical concepts the volume outlines cultural continuity and change in Europe through the lenses of literature the arts science technology and music to show the continent’s ever-changing identities. In a highly readable style it expertly contextualizes such diverse and wide-ranging topics as Celtic society the Roman legal system the oppositions between ‘elite’ and ‘popular’ culture in pre-industrial Europe Michelangelo’s world-view the interaction between the Enlightenment and Romanticism the growth of a society of time and money the appeal of fascism and other totalitarian ideologies and the ways the songs of Sting express late twentieth-century thinking. Structured both chronologically and thematically the text is distinctive in the attention consistently paid to the many ways Europe has been formed through its contacts with non-European cultures especially those of Asia and the Americas. This edition concludes with an epilogue that discusses the ways Europe’s recent past – including the long-term efforts at further unification and the various forms of opposition against it – has been both interpreted and misinterpreted; the importance of globalization; and the major challenges facing Europe in the present amongst which are the consequences of the pandemic of 2020. With a wide selection of illustrations maps excerpts from primary sources and even lyrics from contemporary songs to support its arguments the text remains the definitive cultural history of Europe for both the general reader and students of European history and culture. | Europe A Cultural History

Local Societies in Bronze Age Northern Europe

Local Societies in Bronze Age Northern Europe

This book aims to understand the process of the Bronze Age societies of Northern Europe which are often regarded as the periphery and a bleak contrast to the Central European Bronze Age. The Bronze Age is the first globalised period with new types of societies and new modes of exchange and trade. In this context there is considerable local variation and diversity within the Bronze Age societies of Northern Europe which is poorly understood although there have been advances and changes in this research. Therefore this book challenges some of the mainstream opinions on the Bronze Age of Northern Europe and focus on local and regional aspects. This is done by a series of articles from significant contributors that deal with these issues on theoretical and empirical levels with regards to differences cultural dualism boundaries regions and regionality in a period of increased globalisation. The result is a movement away from local and regional aspects toward communications travels and contacts between northern Europe and the greater world not only towards Central Europe and the Near East but also towards the east. Northern/Arctic Europe is often left out in these discussions and this book will contribute to this greater picture of the Bronze Age world. | Local Societies in Bronze Age Northern Europe

Ideas of Europe Time Space and Tradition

Ideas of Europe Time Space and Tradition

Ideas of Europe is a critical essay reassessing the founding myths of Europe and the making of a European identity from antiquity to the present age. Antonelli argues that the intrinsic fragility and precarious nature of the perceived geographical entity of Europe has been compensated by the creation of a strong and wide European cultural identity which has embraced Latin tradition as interpreted and appropriated by Germanic Romance Slavonic as well as Greek and Byzantine cultures to form the European cultural space as we know it today. The development of a creative relationship between antiquity and modernity and the birth of a European Literature have created a ‘time’ of and for Europe. The method used throughout the book is rigorously historical-philological on the one hand while on the other it is enriched through critical dialogue with the great authors of the European tradition – from the classical Greek-Latin figures to the literati and philosophers of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. This critical history of the cultural representations of Europe is a vital text for readers from across the humanities and social sciences who are interested in cultural history and in the values of Europe. | Ideas of Europe Time Space and Tradition

Imaginary Europes Literary and filmic representations of Europe from afar

Imaginary Europes Literary and filmic representations of Europe from afar

The 20th century has witnessed crucial changes in our perceptions of Europe. Two World Wars and many regional conflicts the end of empires and of the Eastern Bloc the creation and expansion of the European Union and the continuous reshaping of Europe’s population through emigration immigration and globalization have led to a proliferation of images of Europe within the continent and beyond. While Eurocentrism governs current public debates in Europe this book takes a special interest in literary and cinematographic imaginings of Europe that are produced from more distant decentred or peripheral vantage points and across differences of political power ideological or ethnic affinity cultural currency linguistic practice and geographical location. The contributions to this book demonstrate how these particular imaginings of Europe often without first-hand experience of the continent do not simply hold up a mirror to Europe but dare to conceive of new perspectives and constellations for Europe that call for a shifting of critical positions. In so doing the artistic visions from afar confirm the significance of cultural imagination in (re)conceptualizing the past present and future of Europe. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Postcolonial Writing. | Imaginary Europes Literary and filmic representations of Europe from afar

Europe and World Society

Europe and World Society

Europe and World Society offers a distinctive critical approach to understanding European transformations exploring both the progress and limitations of integration on various key policy areas such as agricultural policy education reform migration and external relations as well as the relationship between European regionalism and globalization. Due to its innovative theoretical framework based on macro perspectives including ‘World Polity Theory’ developed by Stanford sociologist John W. Meyer this collection contributes to both the recent ‘sociological turn’ in European studies and to the constructivist critiques of rational choice accounts of modern Europe. At a time when the European integration project has been severely challenged by multiple economic political and social crises this book offers a timely global perspective that sheds light on the dynamism and multiplicity of the actors discourses and processes which underlie contemporary Europe. The book’s distinctive global approach allows it to move the debate beyond state- and EU-centrism and establish the ‘missing link’ between Europe and its global context. This book was published as a special issue of the Journal of Contemporary European Studies.
