Employing Norway as the case study area, the author uses this nation as an example to assess Europeanization and identity politics across the European Union (EU). Utilising an original and innovative approach called 'social constructivist fusion perspective', the author addresses Europeanization across several key factors. The author assesses the influence of the EU on 'half-way member countries', and the impact of identity politics and domestic structures, whi Notes Print version record Subject European Union -- Norway SUBJECT European Union fast Subject Identity politics -- European Union countries -- Case studies Identity politics Politics and government SUBJECT Norway -- Politics and government -- 20th century Subject European Union countries Norway Genre/Form Case studies Form Electronic book ISBN 9780203125632 0203125630
