Beschreibung
The book presents results from the Cultural patterns of the
European enlargement process (CULTPAT) project. Based on a
qualitative, trans-disciplinary social science approach the
study combines analytical skills from the fields of
contemporary anthropology, political science and history of
ideas. The book aims to reconstruct the cultural patterns of
identity constructions on a local/regional, national and
European level since “1989/90”. It draws Special attention
to the fields of political discourse and policy making,
which are perceived through conflicting representations on
the said levels and as a potential danger posed by or to the
enlargement process.
