Toward a Reflexive Political Sociology of the European Union

Beschreibung

This book argues that contemporary European politics creates new forms of transnational power that challenges the traditional parameters of the nation-state. Kauppi identifies and critically explores the evolving dynamics existing between national and transnational spaces, groups and knowledge. Kauppi suggests that European public policies and transnational institutions like the European Parliament create new spaces, new types of knowledge and novel political practices.  

Toward a Reflexive Political Sociology of the European Union is structured around three parts. The first focuses on evolving transnational fields. The second explores the changing role of academics and universities. The third section engages with the works of Pierre Bourdieu on politics and the media. The issues discussed throughout the book revolve around the challenges to the nation-state and of knowledge production that is tied to it.

This book will be an invaluable resource to academics andresearchers interested in European politics, European Union studies and political sociology.
