Publisher's Synopsis
The book addresses challenges and opportunities which the European integration process is facing in the current international and European dramatically changing landscape. It offers a solid theoretical, methodological and applied analysis of a wide range of European-driven issues including globalisation, multi-level governance, education, intercultural realities, values, citizenship and Europe's future. The publication comprises both a thematic selection of peer-reviewed articles published in international periodicals and a final forward-looking contribution on a European Model of democracy, participation and community. Its interdisciplinary outlook allows for an in-depth and original exploration of specific issues from a human-centric focus and value-driven perspective. It presents an innovative contribution to the literature in the field of European and Global Studies. Paul Breyne, Jan De Groof, Ewa Latoszek, Luciano Morganti, Luc Van den Brande and Dario Velo contributed with personal testimonies on broadly defined European issues, written from different perspectives, in line with the book's focus.
