The book analyses the origins and development of the idea of Europe as a social construction from the earliest times to the present. Its challenging thesis is that the European idea has lent itself to a politics of division and exclusion, which has been disguised by superficial notions of unity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45279037325463,"sku":"9780312125691","price":3514.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780312125691.webp?v=1769292527","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/inventing-europe-9780312125691","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
