| Title | The many-faced nationalism in Europe: Comparative analysis of Hungary and the United Kingdom |
| Summary | This paper discovers the dynamics of politicization of the European Union in domestic politics based on postfunctionalism and nested identity theory. It took up the case studies of Hungary and the United Kingdom and based on the same identity-based criteria it compared the similarities and differences of how the image of the European Union is utilized politically in both countries. The criteria defined by the author were the following: the image of the nation (sovereignty, strength and exceptionalism), value-based ideas (Christianity, multiculturalism and European values) and the notion of external threats and security (immigration and integration issues). The case studies proved that the politicization of European identity is always strongly connected to the national context, so emerging the Eurosceptic nationalism cannot be seen as one comprehensive transnational movement, although there are similarities in the language and objects of politicization. |
