The European Identity : Historical and Cultural Realities We Cannot Deny Paperback / softback
by Stephen (Standard Chartered Bank, Shanghai) Green
Part of the Haus Curiosities series
Paperback / softback
Description
Is there any such thing as a European identity? Amidst all the kaleidoscopic variety what - if anything - do 28 members of the European Union have in common?
The facts of history have created shared interests and cultural connections that are in the end more important than the differences.
We know we are different from Asia; and we are more different from America than we - perhaps especially the British - think.
So in a 21st century of globalisation and emerging great powers, Europe must discover and define that common identity.
This is a challenge for all the big states of the EU.Europe clearly has something distinctive and vitally important to offer: it is the experience of a unique journey through centuries of exploration and conflict, errors and learnings, soul-searching and rebuilding.
It is an experience of universal significance. One way or another, the world will have to learn these lessons, and it will certainly be the poorer if this European voice is not heard.
