The former capital: the Europeans = Buvusioji sostinė : Europiečiai

Abstract

"Europe is in a state of flux. The financial and migrant crisis seems to have been averted, but the political aftermath is only now becoming apparent. Where some political forces are seeking refuge in a united Europe, others are vociferously turning a way from it. The European Union is the favourite scapegoat of national politicians, even though more and more issues are regulated at European level. The media and politicians are distrusted, which has not stopped this distrust from being politically exploited. This is despite polls and statistics showing that the majority of Europeans are often both happy and prosperous. ... Documenting the direct causes of tensions in Europe is not the main goal of this project. Rather, "The Europeans" is a journey into contemporary Europe and an examination of what it means to be European in the 2020s. How will we look back on this decade?"--Colophon
