This book is the first monograph to systematically explore the relationship between citizenship and collective identity in the European Union, integrating two fields of research – citizenship and collective identity. Karolewski argues that various types of citizenship correlate with differing collective identities and demonstrates the link between citizenship and collective identity. He constructs three generic models of citizenship including the republican, the liberal and the caesarean citizenship to which he ascribes types of collective identity. Using a multidisciplinary approach, the book integrates concepts, theories and empirical findings from sociology (in the field of citizenship research), social psychology (in the field of collective identity), legal studies (in the chapter on the European Charter of Fundamental Rights), security studies (in the chapter on the politics of insecurity) and philosophy (in the chapter on pathologies of deliberation) to examine the current trends of European citizenship and European identity politics. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of European politics, political theory, political philosophy, sociology and social psychology.

This collection of essays brings Arendt's work into dialogue with contemporary philosophical views.

There is nothing as loveable as a dimwit. Welcome to the third story in the Space Babies saga. Fortunately, dimwits can be taught ~ The mates of Helian Six are protecting the refugee Puritans hiding on the planet Hesprii by pretending they are their visiting human cousins. They will educate the poor, unfortunate women who were raised to serve the obnoxious males of their planet in things like STDs, virginity, and sex toys. The males of Helian Six have welcomed a bounty hunter crew from their home planet of Freijia who have a mission to either return or destroy those same Puritans. The bounty hunters have never failed in a mission. Likewise, they have never fallen for females. Conflict wreaks havoc on the planet unless the males and females of Hesprii can keep the predators and prey separated. Unfortunately, there's not a lot of room for separation when the snipers fall for the ladies hook, line, and sinker. Nor when the ladies decide to find poor fools to lose their virginity to. * Book 3 in the Purple People Series. The stories will be richer if you read the two previous stories! If not, here is what's gone on before: Helian Six found a stasis capsule in space with waking inhabitants. There were nineteen tiny purple beings aboard—to his crew of nineteen warriors. It was a sign they needed to find mates and rear the small ones. It worked out to their advantage that nineteen teachers of the species Human needed kidnapping. Er, rescuing. Those teachers agreed to stay. With the planet established, Hesprii becomes a land of envy. A personal request from their own Ambassador requires Helian Six to harbor more refugee females. However, the Ambassador has his own agenda. He intends to woo the leader of those females. No one realizes that one of them loses her marbles and drugs the inhabitants of the planet in order to steal their adorable purple offspring. After a daring rescue, the Ambassador is free to marry Mother Pariah. And that is our story to date!
