Opis

The European citizen is neither a subject nor an object in the discourses about the project -Europe.- Instead, the question of how to construct Europe and who European citizens are has become a topic for EU-experts, among whom European citizens are not counted. This book cannot provide a platform for a discourse among European citizens about their view on the project -Europe.- It does, however, provide some insights for European citizens about who Europeans are -supposed- to be, concluded from the discourses of all those European -expertocrats.-"
