Perspectives for Europe : Historical Concepts and Future Challenges

The contributions to this book stem from an international conference entitled 'Ideas for the Future of Europe' and focus on ideas and challenges in the context of existing crises in Europe and particularly in the European Union. In doing so, it adopts both a historical and a political science perspective.This volume addresses the quintessential thematic foci which are of vital importance with regard to Europeans living together, in particular the relationship between the European Union and its Member States, its current policy on migration and asylum, and the role of Islam as a part of Europe.
