Everyday Europe

the long version

This book offers an empirically-based view on Europeans' interconnections in everyday life. It looks at the ways in which EU residents have been getting closer across national frontiers: in their everyday experiences of foreign countries - work, travel, personal networks - but also their knowledge, consumption of foreign products, and attitudes towards foreign culture. The book considers how people reconcile their increasing cross-border interconnections and a politically separating Europe of nation states and national interests.
