Just to let you know, I am the convenor of the PES Activists Group in Dublin. We recently hosted a seminar on European Citizenship and Identity with Senator Richard Yung of the Parti Socialiste (F). He raised similar issues to the ones you have touched on, but I must admit you have presented the issue in a very intriguing way. I hope you don't mind, but I have posted a link to your article on the Irish Labour Party's internal web-forum which is currently discussing how we can move away from national obsessions and perspectives to a broader European discourse and identity.

That's what I meant with the statement that it is harder to keep up a European perspective than expected.<BR/><BR/>And Vitaliy, both the national and pan-European identification are not at all incompatible internally, that's true, but sometimes, when both sides collide, it's much easier to keep up the "usual" perspective than to stand for the (pan-)European one. I just realise this in writing. It is more a matter of habbit, less of identification. Plus the pragmatic aspect that Jon has mentioned.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-492174345240444269.post-65566681696939397552008-09-22T19:57:00.000+02:002008-09-22T19:57:00.000+02:00Interesting as ever...I've tried to get to grips w...Interesting as ever...<BR/><BR/>I've tried to get to grips with a similar sort of issue, but at the end of the day I generate more readers and comments if I write a UK-EU perspective than if I write an EU-wide perspective.<BR/><BR/>It's a question of the ideological approach versus pragmatism I suppose.Jon Worthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10657831243573498703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-492174345240444269.post-90725252096408427082008-09-22T18:43:00.000+02:002008-09-22T18:43:00.000+02:00Even if it takes other European bloggers a while t...Even if it takes other European bloggers a while to shift to a more European perspective, I hope you will continue with this project. The national starting point will likely be there for some time, but it is not incompatible, I would argue, with a pan-European identification.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
