The Poverty of EU-Centrism

Abstract

Is European Studies about studying Europe or about studying the European Union? In many textbooks this simple question about demarcating the main subject of interest is omitted: EU and Europe are treated as synonyms. It is like equalling America with the USA, neglecting people in Canada, Central and South America. Likewise EU-centrism does no justice to people in many sovereign entities in geographical Europe, ranging from Monaco to the Russian Federation and from Turkey to Greenland.
