      abstract = {What makes people identify with Europe? To answer this  question, this book analyzes the development and  determinants of a common European identity among EU  citizens from the Maastricht Treaty in 1992 to the recent  financial and economic crisis. The author examines  citizens' identification with Europe for all EU member  states, and systematically explores the theoretical and  empirical implications of two turning points in the recent  history of EU integration, namely the EU's enlargement to  Central and Eastern Europe in 2004/2007 and the financial  and economic crisis that started in 2008. The book  integrates theoretical approaches to European identity in  sociology, social-psychology and EU public opinion research  in a comprehensive model for explaining individual  identification with Europe. The empirical analysis employs  a multilevel framework to systematically assess the  influence of individual characteristics and the political,  economic, and social context on citizens' feelings of  identity. The long analysis period spanning from 1992 to  the present allows inferences to be drawn about the  long-term developments in the sources of European  identification as well as the immediate impact of EU  enlargement and the crisis on the determinants of European  identification.},
