Ideas about Europe and Europeanisation in comparative perspective: Slovenia and Serbia

The project focuses on visions of Europe emerging in Southeastern part of the continent that have do far been mostly neglected. Thus it offers an insight into the shaping and negotiating the ideas about Europe. These are understood as dynamic, multifarious and often ambiguous processes based on values, images and metaphors found in different European societies, regardless of their particular status in the EU. The approach problematises adequacy of approaching Europe and the (Western) Balkans as two essentially different spaces.
