Description
Studies the "new Europe" that has emerged since 1989 as integration
through the European Union deepens and widens. Explores contemporary
issues that European integration and globalization have fostered in the
new Europe such as the resurgence of nationalism and extreme right-wing
parties, the increased salience of local and regional identities, the
need to build a supra-national European identity, increasing cultural
diversity and the need to better manage immigration and migration, and
Europe's place in the global economy and foreign affairs as it
challenges American hegemony and seeks to continue to be a major player
in world affairs.
