Civic Resources and the Future of the European Union (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Karolewski, Ireneusz Pawel; Kaina, Viktoria

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book shines new light on the political system of the European Union (EU) by focusing on civic resources as a keystone of the EU's ability to sustain. Less-tangible resources such as trust, solidarity, mutual recognition and citizens' social and political participation have been, until now, largely ignored in the research on European integration.
