The Building of a European Identity and Its Challenges

Summary/Abstract: Today, the older territorial and national boundaries of a world continuously changed by globalization, migration, the expansion and further integration of the European Union, and similar wide processes, are constantly redefined. As a recent phenomenon, and in relation to the transformations involved by those processes referred at, the quest for national and transnational identity has intensified.
