THE BOUNDARIES OF EUROPE KARTONIERT (TB)

Europe's boundaries have mainly been shaped by cultural  religious  and political conceptions
rather than by geography. This volume of bilingual essays from renowned European scholars
outlines the transformation of Europe's boundaries from the fall of the ancient world to the
age of decolonization  or the end of the explicit endeavor to Europeanize the world.From the
decline of the Roman Empire to the polycentrism of today's world  the essays span such aspects
as the confrontation of Christian Europe with Islam and the changing role of the Mediterranean
from mare nostrum to a frontier between nations. Scandinavia  eastern Europe and the Atlantic
are also analyzed as boundaries in the context of exploration  migratory movements  cultural
exchanges  and war. The Boundaries of Europe  edited by Pietro Rossi  is the first installment
in the ALLEA book series Discourses on Intellectual Europe  which seeks to explore the question
of an intrinsic or quintessential European identity in light of the rising skepticism towards
Europe as an integrated cultural and intellectual region.
