EUROPEAN IDENTITY IN THE CONTEXT OF NORDIC IDENTITY

Journal Title: Studia Humanistyczno-Społeczne - Year 2016, Vol 14, Issue

Abstract

L'article s'intéresse à l'identité européenne et son importance pour la croissance de la légitimité de l'Union européenne et les décisions de ses institutions. Son objectif principal est d'analyser et de comparer les déterminants historiques de ces deux identités et de leur importance dans l'esprit des citoyens européens. L'ambition de l'auteur est aussi de clarifier la structure de valeur des identités dans le contexte des défis mondiaux actuels. La première partie de l'article permet de comprendre le principe de l'identité, comme il y a beaucoup de différentes perspectives théoriques de sa compréhension, de sorte qu’elle est considérée comme un terme interdisciplinaire. Une autre partie traite de l'histoire de la coopération des nations européennes, qui après la guerre a entraîné la création de l'Union européenne. Le document présente l'analyse du développement socio-politique de la région nordique qui diffère de celui du reste de l’Europe. La dernière partie du travail est une évaluation analytique et comparaison des éléments importants qui contribuent à façonner l'identité européenne et nordique. Le document révèle le fait que la partie importante de la conscience européenne comprend un message de l’identité nordique- la culture et les valeurs communes. The article is concerned with the European identity and its importance for the growth of legitimacy of the EU and the decisions of its institutions. The main aim of this work is to analyze and compare the historical determinants of both identities and their importance in the minds of European citizens.The author's ambition is also to clarify the value structure of the identities in the context of current global challenges. The first part of the paper will enable to grasp the concept of identity, as there are many different theoretical perspectives of its understanding, so we consider it as an interdisciplinary term. Another part deals with the historical background of cooperation of European nations, which after the war resulted in the formation of the EU. The paper includes the analysis of different socio-political development of the Nordic region from the rest of Europe. The last part of the work is an analytical evaluation and comparison of significant elements which contributed to shaping of the European and Nordic identity. The paper reveals the fact that the important part of European consciousness includes a message of Nordic identity- their culture and shared values.
