Cross Analysis of the Case Studies Summary "In this book, Tuuli Lähdesmäki, Katja Mäkinen, Viktorija L. A. Čeginskas, and Sigrid Kaasik-Krogerus scrutinize how people who participate in cultural initiatives funded and governed by the European Union understand the idea of Europe. The book focuses on three cultural initiatives: the European Capital of Culture, the European Heritage Label, and a European Citizen Campus project funded through the Creative Europe programme. These initiatives are examined through field studies conducted in 12 countries between 2010 and 2018. The authors describe their approach as 'ethnography of Europeanization' and conceptualize the attempts at Europeanization in the European Union's cultural policy as politics of belonging"-- Provided by publisher Analysis 21st century history: from c 2000 Notes Includes index Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes English Description based on print version record and CIP data provided by publisher; resource not viewed In Books at JSTOR: Open Access JSTOR OAPEN (Open Access Publishing in European Networks) OAPEN Subject Group identity -- European Union countries National characteristics, European.
