Description:
A vast specialized literature, but especially the public discourses of the “center” 1, accredits the idea according to which the European identity is best and most “operationally” defined by values2. Far from being a finite concept or at least a relatively exhaustible one through a systematic description, European identity is a concept in full construction process, a process that is active on both the top-down and the bottom-up dimension. The stakes are not negligible at all: the EU’s extremely broad objectives and the complexity of the institutional and legislative apparatus designed to ensure their achievement cannot be based on a number of formal mechanisms, however effective they may be.
