Description
This panel explores the shifting meanings and practices of Europeanness in the context of South East Europe’s complex relationship with the European Union. Drawing on perspectives from political discourse analysis, critical EU studies, and regional politics, the papers collectively examine how European integration is both a project of power and a site of contestation. Together, the contributions illuminate the discursive, temporal, and relational struggles that define EUrope’s borders - both geographic and symbolic - in the contemporary moment.
