Description: European Citizenship and Social Integration in the European Union by Holger Lengfeld, JÜrgen Gerhards Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Is social integration in Europe strong enough to overcome the recent European crisis? Based on a sophisticated sociological theory of European integration and on survey data from different European countries, this book argues that solidarity between the people of Europe is much stronger than some scholars and politicians might expect. This lends proof to the existence of the cultural foundations of a democratic Europe. Publisher Description Since 2008, the European Union has been affected by one of the most severe crises in the history of Europe. This book builds on the work of JÜrgen Habermas to answer the key question: is Europe strong enough to overcome the recent crisis? Arguing that recovery can only take place if the citizens of Europe regard themselves as members of a socially integrated European society, this volume sets out three conditions for successful European social integration: European citizens mutually respect each other as equals, accepting that all EU citizens should have equal economic, political and social rights.Those citizens objecting to the idea of European equality should not constitute a minority with potential for mobilisation that could impede the ongoing process of European social integration.Europeans act upon their equality beliefs in everyday practice – without differentiating between nationals and EU migrants. Based on a survey carried out in Germany, Spain, Poland and Turkey, the authors argue that the requirements for a socially integrated Europe are largely in place already. Their findings allow for optimism regarding the future of the EU, as the cultural foundations for a democratisation of Europe are laid.This volume develops a theoretical framework of a socially integrated European community, and will be useful for students and scholars of sociology, citizenship studies, social policy, political science and European studies.
