Abstract
Collective identity, the emotionally powerful sense of belonging to a
group, is a crucial source of popular legitimacy for nations. However
efforts since the 1990s to politically support European integration by
using identity mechanisms borrowed from nationalism have had very
limited success. To find alternative links between integration and the rich
complexity of the wider culture concept, this volume brings together
leading scholars from several of the disciplines that develop concepts of
culture and methods of cultural research.
