Ju-Jitsu between Europhiles and Eurosceptics in the Past This
lecture explores connections between transnational politics and
opposition to »Europe« in historical perspective. It argues that
transnational advocacy for European cooperation has provoked
Eurosceptic activism and narratives. In post-war Europe,
Europhiles’ consistent notion of further economic and political
integration as the creation of a supranational European democracy
of sorts has transformed the struggle between Europhiles and
Eurosceptics into one about broader issues of the nature of
democracy, not merely the location of decision-making. In this
struggle, despite their mutual ideological enmity, the far right
and far left frequently align in a form of populist social
nationalism that is reminiscent of inter-war alliances against
parliamentary democracy at nation-state level. Prof. Dr. Wolfram
Kaiser, Historiker; Professor für European Studies an der
University of Portsmouth, Gastprofessor am College of Europe in
Brügge sowie Leiter im Wissenschaftlichen Dienst des Europäischen
Parlaments Moderation: Prof. Dr. Philipp Müller, Historiker;
Sprecher der Forschungsgruppe Demokratie und Staatlichkeit; Leiter
des BMBF-Verbundprojekts "Euroskepsis" Vortrag im Rahmen der
HAMBURG SUMMER SCHOOL FOR SOCIAL RESEARCH, einer Kooperation mit
der ZEIT Stiftung.
