Description

The leading theme of this course "What is Europe and who are the Europeans now" will be explored from a multidisciplinary perspective and from an interactive approach. This course has its aim to examine the notions of Europe and its many identities in its interaction with the world. The elements of the course cover the theory of individual, group, and national identities formation; the debate over "new " and "old" Europe; cultural practices of Europe; media presentations; and public and elite perceptions.

Currently, Europe and the EU are involved into complex political and economic matters that rank among the most significant changes on the continent since World War II. The changing profile of the European societies serves to underline the necessity for empirical analysis of contemporary Europe, one of the dominant economic, political and cultural counterparts for New Zealand.
