Europe, that ancient continent, which is currently on the path of self-discovery, is the result of an unprecedented historical convergence and a new geography in the making. Reversing the classical interaction between space and politics, the book argues that it is politics that defines the geography of modern Europe. It is the very people of Europe-aware of history in all its progressive and regressive stages and valuing above all, public opinion as well as the right to question-who will decide its fate.
