What Is Europe?

What is Europe? Where does it begin and end? Who is a European? These questions have long been debated but never more so than in the early 21st century. Anna Triandafyllidou and Ruby Gropas show that there can be no single definition of Europe but that a lot can be learned from addressing its diverse meanings.

Anna Triandafyllidou is Professor at the Global Governance Programme (GGP) of the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies (RSCAS), European University Institute, Italy.

Ruby Gropas is Research Fellow in the Cultural Pluralism Research Area of the Global Governance Programme of the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies (RSCAS), Italy. She is also Visiting Professor at the College of Europe (Bruges), Belgium, and holds a Lectureship in International Relations at the Law Faculty of the Democritus University of Thrace, Greece.
