Civic and Ethnic Nationalism in European Union Identity Creation Civic and Ethnic Nationalism in European Union Identity Creation Andreas Bjørnbekk Spring 2020 Master’s Thesis in History Department of Archaeology, Conservation and History University of Oslo ii Abstract: When in 1984 the European Council decided to appoint a committee to study which measures it could adopt in order to establish a ‘people’s Europe’, the European Economic Community entered a stage in its history which essentially began a process of national identity-building. Up until that point, the European project had mainly revolved around economic and institutional integration, without adopting vital aspects of what constitutes, in Benedict Anderson’s words, an ‘imagined community’. The recommendations from the Committee on a People’s Europe were clear; to es- tablish symbols and initiatives which common people could identify with and participate in. Dur- ing the two decades following the report, the European Union would come to fly its own flag, play its own anthem, provide four freedoms, and establish a common currency – many of them, if not all, innovations introduced in the pursuit of a common European identity. This thesis examines several EU identity creation initiatives, with the aim of understanding which concepts of nationalism they were founded on or intended to promote. As such, the thesis deals extensively with the concept of nationalism and identity, and splits the concept into two distinct categories: civic and ethnic nationalism. In doing so, the thesis dissects the Union’s documents and prior academic research to study some of the most prominent signifiers of the European Union to date. iii Acknowledgments The writing of this thesis has been one of my life’s most challenging undertakings. Imaginary blood, sweat, and tears have been spilt on the altar of European identity creation research, but as my mind almost exclusively wears rose-coloured glasses, I’m certain I will – in time – remember this period in my life fondly. I owe an immense amount of gratitude to my scholarly supervisor Kim Christian Priemel, who has offered invaluable advice and insight, reviewing my drafts in record time and in great depth, and helped make this thesis more multifaceted than I could’ve ever imagined. I also wish to thank advisor John Erik Fossum, who helped put the thesis back on track by inspiring the focus on nationalism, and ARENA Centre for European Studies for providing a great study environment. I thank my family and friends for having been there by my side, both by listening to my rants and by editing my work. Finally, I wish to thank my fiancé, Neven. We have gone through this process together, at times laughing, at other times screaming. You have motivated me, provided much- needed criticism, and made me proud of my work. For that I am eternally grateful, and remind you, once more – but far from the last time – that I love you more than anything. iv Table of Contents Abstract: ........................................................................................................................................ iii Acknowledgments.......................................................................................................................... iv Chapter 1: Introduction ................................................................................................................. 1 Chapter 2: A people’s flag ........................................................................................................... 11 2.1 Nationalism and patriotism .................................................................................................... 12 2.2 Flags and the nation ............................................................................................................... 15 2.3 The flag of Europe .................................................................................................................. 17 2.4 Interpretations ....................................................................................................................... 20 2.5 The flag for everywhere and everything .................................................................................. 26 2.6 To arouse emotion, or not to arouse emotion ......................................................................... 27 2.7 Creating an identity ................................................................................................................ 34 Chapter 3: An ode to Europe ....................................................................................................... 36 3.1 A brief history and analysis of national anthems ..................................................................... 36 3.2 An ode to Europe ................................................................................................................... 45 3.3 The banal anthem?

But economic and institutional integration would soon bind old rivals and newfound allies closer together, and in the course of the latter half of Europe’s bloodiest century, a Community became a Union.2 As the memory of war faded and the immediate reasons for common solutions appeared to dwindle, it became clear to European officials that the European project required a more profound foundation on which to build.3 Plagued by ‘eurosclerosis’ in the

Diese war zwar letztlich nur ein Pro- visorium, gleichwohl ist ohne sie das Bayern der Neuzeit nicht denkbar. Bayern hat eine recht kontinuierliche Verfassungsgeschichte vorzuweisen: Die Verfassung des Königreichs Bayern von 1818 war genau hundert Jahre lang in Kraft, und die heute gültige Verfassung wurde vom bayerischen Volk durch Volksentscheid am 1. Dezember 1946 angenommen. Damit war nach der Katastrophe der nationalsozialistischen Herrschaft und des Zweiten Weltkriegs ein Fundament für den Wie- deraufbau eines demokratischen Staates gelegt, das bis heute trägt. Angesichts all der gravierenden Veränderungsprozesse, die unser Staat und unsere Gesellschaft in den letzten sechs Jahrzehnten durchlaufen haben, ist das keine Selbstverständlichkeit. Doch hilft der beste Verfassungs- text nichts, wenn die Bürgerinnen und Bürger nicht aktiv an der Gestaltung von Politik und Gesellschaft mitwirken. Dies kann auf verschiedene Weise gesche- hen: in Vereinen und Verbänden, in Bürgerinitiativen und privaten Selbsthilfegruppen, in den Kirchen und den politischen Parteien, ehrenamtlich oder beruflich.

  • The Occult Undercurrents of the European Union
    The Occult Undercurrents of the European Union The subject that has been headline news in all the papers and television in the UK for some time is – the European Referendum. Oh no! You cry, not more of that! It is, however, not just a political or economic issue, about massive immigration or European laws against our own, or even our sovereignty which is extremely important; for if we stay in Europe we can say goodbye to our democracy which has been our standard since the signing of the Magna Carta in 1215! Do we really want to be a small ‘one twenty-eighth’ of the EU and ‘in thrall’ to unelected European bureaucrats? Valid reasons to ponder on are below, and these are facts that will not emerge from the lips of any ‘Remain’ or ‘Brexit’ proponent because the real reason we ought to leave is not political or economic, but spiritual! Whilst the politicians are boring everyone rigid with their tales of gloom and doom and instilling fear into those susceptible, it seems that they have no idea whatsoever of the true nature of the European beast, and yet she has shown us her true colours since her inception. The European beast has a spiritual heart disguised by its policy making powers. The Treaty of Rome, an international agreement, which brought into being the European Union, was signed on 25 th of March 1957 by Belgium, France, Luxemburg, Italy, the Netherlands and West Germany. Notice that it was called the ‘Treaty of Rome’ this is important, for, in short, the European Union demonstrates rebellion against God in more than one way, and is a revival of the old Holy Roman Empire.

The question, however, remains as to what extent this report- ed scepticism truly reflects people’s opinions and feelings about Europe. We all consider it normal to cross borders within Europe, often while using the same money, as well as to take part in exchange programmes, invest in enterprises across Europe and appeal to European institutions if national regulations, for example, do not meet our expectations.
