Focusing on the construction of European identities, this book examines the differing impacts of the Euro crisis on Germany, Ireland, and Poland. It reveals how political and media discourse utilized established identities to navigate the crisis, suggesting that identities are more resilient than previously thought. This resilience plays a crucial role in legitimizing economic measures and highlights ongoing divisions within the EU. By analyzing identity during this pivotal time, the author offers insights into the future of European solidarity and the single currency as an identity project.
