New Perspectives in European Studies

Overview
Volumes

Applying a wider definition of "European Studies", the series History and Ideas: New Perspectives in European Studies explores discourses and practices of inter- and transnational interaction in the fields of politics, law, society, and the economy, but also in the realm of ideas, identities, and experiences. It will thus go beyond and complement the common focus on the political and institutional history of the European Union and its predecessors. The series covers developments since the early modern period from a wide geographical range, encouraging submissions on themes and actors beyond the usual confines of Western European developments.

The series is edited by Fernanda Gallo, Florian Greiner, and Jan Vermeiren.

While in the last twenty years perceptions of Europe have been subjected to detailed historical scrutiny, American images of the Old World have been almost wantonly neglected. As a response to this scholarly desideratum, this pioneering study analyzes neoconservative images of Europe since the 1970s on the basis of an extensive collection of sources. With fresh insight into the evolution of American images of Europe as well as into the history of U.S. neoconservatism, the book appeals to readers familiar and new to the subject matters alike. The study explores how, beginning in the early 1970s, ideas of the United States as an anti-Europe have permeated neoconservative writing and shaped their self-images and political agitation. The choice of periodization and investigated personnel enables the author to refute popular claims that widespread Euro-critical sentiment in the United Studies during the early 21st century – considerably ignited by neoconservatives – was a distinct post-Cold War phenomenon. Instead, the analysis reveals that the fiery rhetoric in the context of the Iraq War debates was merely the climax of a decade-old development.

Reconsidering Europeanization

Ideas and Practices of (Dis-)Integrating Europe since the Nineteenth Century

Florian Greiner, Peter Pichler, Jan Vermeiren

Volume 1 in this series

More Cite

This pertinent and highly original volume explores how ideas of Europe and processes of continental political, socio-economic, and cultural integration have been intertwined since the nineteenth century. Applying a wider definition of Europeanization in the sense of "becoming European", it will pay equal attention to counter-processes of disentanglement and disintegration that have accompanied, slowed down, or displaced such trends and developments. By focusing on the practices, agents, and experience of Europeanization, the volume strives to bring together the history of ideas and the history of human actions and conduct, two approaches that are usually treated separately in the field of European studies.
