The Return of the Repressed: The Colonial History of the EU's Geopolitical Turn
This article examines the EU's current geopolitical turn: the push to have the EU embrace power politics and develop a ‘strategic autonomy’, both vis‐à‐vis global powers and its own ‘neighbourhood’. This turn is significant since it marks a shift away from what is said to be the post‐cold war EU's liberal approach to world affairs. By openly embracing ‘hard power’, Brussels is also severing the continuity between the present rhetoric and its foun…
Decolonization and the spectre of the nation-state
Gurminder Bhambra's Annual Lecture points the way to aparadigm shift in how the social sciences should approachthe nation-state,both historically and in our own times.That is to say, perceiving of Britain historically as a nation-stateor as an imperial state will make all the difference;and, as Bhambra demonstrates, it is precisely the failureto grasp the imperial fact that prevents us from grasping'the shared histories that have configured our p…
A Modern Migration Theory: An Alternative Economic Approach to Failed EU Policy
Alexithymia Is a Key Mediator of the Relationship Between Magical Thinking and Empathy
Thought action fusion (TAF), whereby internal thoughts are perceived to exert equivalent effects to external actions, is a form of magical thinking. Psychiatric disorders associated with TAF (e.g. schizophrenia; obsessive compulsive disorder) can feature atypical social cognition. We explored relationships between TAF and empathy in 273 healthy young adults. TAF was directly correlated with higher personal distress, but not perspective taking, fa…

Europas plantage? Afrikas plats i EU: S historia
This essay describes the history of the Eurafrican project as it evolved from the Pan-European movement in the 1920s to its institutionalization in the European Economic Community (i.e. today’s EU) in the late 1950s. By way of conclusion, the article also discusses how this history affects current relations between Africa and the EU. As shown in the article practically all of the visions, movements and concrete institutional arrangements working …
Eurafrica: The Untold History of European Integration and Colonialism
In order to think theoretically about our global age it is important to understand how the global has been conceived historically. 'Eurafrica' was an intellectual endeavor and political project that from the 1920s saw Europe's future survival - its continued role in history - as completely bound up with Europe's successful merger with Africa. In its time the concept of Eurafrica was tremendously influential in the process of European integration.…
Another Colonialism: Africa in the History of E uropean Integration
Today's E uropean U nion was founded in a 1950s marked by its member states' involvement in numerous colonial conflicts and with the colonial question firmly entrenched on the E uropean and international agenda. This notwithstanding, there is hardly any scholarly investigations to date that have examined colonialism's bearing on the historical project and process of E uropean integration. In tackling this puzzle, the present article proceeds in t…
Imperial Origins of European Integration and the Case of Eurafrica: A Reply to Gary Marks’‘Europe and Its Empires’
This article offers a critique of Gary Marks’ recent article in JCMS , entitled ‘Europe and Its Empires: From Rome to the European Union’. Although it sympathizes with Marks’ invocation of empire as a key theoretical concept and historical category in the study of European integration, it fundamentally disagrees with his ‘continentalist’ operationalization. Marks chooses to discuss the nexus of empire and European integration exclusively with ref…

Demographic Colonialism: EU–African Migration Management and the Legacy of Eurafrica
In this article we analyse the current trajectory of EU-African migration policy. Unlike many other scholars, we suggest it must be understood in its historical context. Migration between Europe and Africa has been a European concern at least since the 1920s. At that time, issues of migration were seen in the context of a co-European colonial effort in Africa. Today, migration issues are to be resolved in the framework of a EU-African partnership…
Bringing Africa as a ‘Dowry to Europe: European Integration and the Eurafrican Project, 1920–1960
This essay examines the history of the ‘Eurafrican project’ as it evolved from the Pan-European movement in the 1920s to its institutionalization in the European Economic Community (EEC) (i.e. today's EU) in the late 1950s. As shown in the essay, practically all of the visions, movements and concrete institutional arrangements working towards European integration during this period placed Africa's incorporation into the European enterprise as a c…

Building Eurafrica: Reviving Colonialism through European Integration, 1920–60
This paper examines the history of the ‘Eurafrican project’ as it evolved from the Pan‐ European movement in the 1920s to its institutionalization in the European Economic Community (EEC) (i.e. today’s EU) in the late 1950s.

Post-national Europe — without cosmopolitan guarantees
For some years, a growing crowd of 'cosmopolitan' Left-liberal scholars and intellectuals have been taking aim at the nation state, holding it responsible for numerous grave problems facing Europe and the wider world, ranging from growing anti-immigrant sentiments to the absence of a counterweight to US neoconservative unilateralism. In this view, 'more Europe', as in more supranational EU integration, is said to be the key solution, paving the w…
Migration, Citizenship, and the European Welfare State: A European Dilemma
This book examines the current dilemmas of liberal anti-racist policies in European societies, linking two discourses that are normally quite separate in social science: immigration and ethnic relations research on the one hand, and the political economy of the welfare state on the other. Gunnar Myrdal’s questions in An American Dilemma are rephrased with reference to Europe’s current dual crisis — that of the established welfare state facing a d…

European Integration, European Identity and the Colonial Connection
The significance of colonialism and decolonization for the dawning of European integration and their subsequent bearing on notions of European identity still constitute a largely unexplored field within research. In seeking to problematize and amend this state of things, this article embarks on charting a set of historical developments which provide a case for arguing that theoretical and empirical studies on the nexus of European integration and…
Bank Regulation in Denmark from 1880 to World War Two: Public Interests and Private Interests
This article analyses the bank regulation process in Denmark until the passing of the second Bank Act of 1930. It is demonstrated that the regulatory initiatives were the results of banking crises and that the explicit rationale for regulation was an attempt to avoid future banking crises i.e. to secure financial stability. However, even though the public interest was at the centre of the argument, private interests also affected the outcome of t…
European Citizenship’, or Where Neoliberalism Meets Ethno-Culturalism
The overarching objective of this article is to map and analyse the European Union's discourse of ‘European citizenship’ as it has evolved since the early 1970s. It focuses on how this discourse on citizenship unfolds in the matters of social citizenship rights, ethnic relations, immigration, and the interrelated EU project of forming ‘European identity’. Through an analysis of mainly European Commission documents, a critical perspective of the d…
Questions from somewhere — who's who in attitude research about ‘immigrants’
The article looks into how the binary opposition ‘we ‘ and ‘them ‘ is reproduced and legitimized in attitudinal surveys, specifically the Eurobarometer series. The Eurobarometer 30 and 39 are among the most widely cited and, therefore, most influential sources among academics and politicians interested in knowing about how Europeans think of those defined as ‘non‐Europeans ‘. The author contends that attitudinal research of the kind exemplified b…

Multiplant Location for Profit Maximisation
Since many important firms operate several plants, the problem of the choice of an optimal pattern of locations for these plants is of interest. In this paper, multiplant location without interaction is studied. It is shown that it is sufficient to consider a finite number of particular sites to obtain an optimal pattern of plants. The distribution network of the output is then analysed, taking into account the technologies of the plants. Finally…
