Is Europe’s crisis merely a financial one? Tackling issues ranging from Europe’s legal, institutional and cultural identity to its border, citizenship and integration policies, and looking forward to its legacy for the future, the contributors to this volume interrogate the various dimensions and contours of the European crisis. By revisiting Derrida’s diagnosis of the crisis of European identity, they simultaneously propose a new direction for Europe, and an alternative response to today’s crisis.

This is an outstanding collection of essays on the recent history, the contemporary predicament, and the future promise of Europe. Inspired by Jacques Derrida’s reflections on Europe in The Other Heading and elsewhere, these essays pose critical questions regarding the past problems and the future prospects of Europe’s geographical, economic, political, cultural, and, especially, religious identity. It’s a collection as unified and diverse, as compelling and provocative, as "Europe itself".
