This essay argues….
Your main claim has to be in the end of the essay.
- Every claim has to be referenced.
- A paragraph with One idea. Not 2 or 3 or 4, that’s not clear. How they relate,
what they mean. Set up a thesis: then evidence, examples, details instead of
going on for another idea
- Use biography in a interesting way: only if it adds up for the text. Otherwise,
skip the biography. So not things like.. sep 12 he stepped on the plane.. Then
use things that may have influenced his way of thinking.

John McCormick, The Idea of Europe (2010)

John McCormick: (born November 30, 1954)

- He spent eight years working in the environmental movement (working for the
World Wide Fund for Nature and the International Institute for Environment
and Development) before becoming an academic.
- His research and teaching interests have moved from environmental policy to
comparative politics and the politics and policies of the European Union.
- His 2010 book Europeanism is an attempt to pin down the political, economic
and social features of Europe and Europeans



1. There is no single answer to the Question ‘What is Europe?’ List how
‘Europe’ (as an idea, political ideal or geographical concept) has been
specified since Classical times.

Classical times = klassieke oudheid = ​ i​ s the period of cultural h
​ istory​ between
the 8th century BC and the 6th century AD centered on the ​Mediterranean
Sea,​ ​[1​ ​beginnen in de ​8e eeuw v.Chr.​ en met de ​val van het West-Romeinse
Rijk​ eindigen in 476 na Chr. Centraal staat daarbij de geschiedenis van het
oude Griekenland en ​Rome.​

Treaties = verdragen

1. Europe is a accumulation of national identities.
2. 500 BC. Greek: ‘An area vaguely defined as being to the north.’
(geographical)
3. 1500 = For outsiders the term ‘Europe’ was synonymous to the term
‘Christendom’
4. During second world war = All nations under Hitler’s reign.
5. During cold war = An area with a ideological rift between a capitalist west and
socialist east

In class answers:

1. Governments decide on moral issues
2. Europeans have things in common
3. Major contrast in EU historical foreign & migration politicus
4. Collection of historically christian nations
5. Continent

, 6. Community of shared/common values
7. Huge diversity
8. Geographically ill-defined
9. Institutional framework
10. Self-defined collective culturally/politically

Three common definitions:

- A geographical area
- Culture or rather a network of interconnected cultures
- Postwar: Europe as a set of institutional frameworks (European Union,
Council of Europe, etcetera.)

“Zeus” Myth = Zeus stole Europa (a girl in the myth). She was stole from Libanon

15-star flag design: The stars represent the members of the council. One of the stars
include Turkey.

12-star flag design: The final design for the council of Europe als later for the
European Union.

Great War = World War 1

The prevailing view in France was long time that European Cooperation was an
impossible dream, and that the best hope for peace lay in French strength and
German weakness.

Where is Europe​?

Important differences between the countries in Europe:
1. There is ​no national cultural identity.​ Few European states are culturally
homogeneous, and there is no such thing as European People or race. Not
only is there no dominant culture, but most Europeans rightly shudder at the
thought of their separate identities being subordinated to some kind of
homogenized ​Euroculture.
2. The ​linguistic divisions of Europe are substantial​: its natives speak more than
40 languages, which are defended as symbols of national identity. English
grows, and is slowly becoming the language of Europe: This helps reduce the
cultural identities that divides Europeans.
3. While the​ histories of European states​ overlapped for centuries, those
overlaps often emphasized their differences rather than giving them the sense
of a shared past.
4. It’s not clear exactly where Europe physically begins and ends. ​Strictly
speaking: Europe is no more than part of the Asian continent. The western,
