ABSTRACT

Teresa Pullano describes the European integration process as a dynamic reconfiguration of national spaces. She brings to attention economic, political and social tensions that this process gives rise to both at the national and the European Union level, and argues the latter does not have adequate means to overcome them. In this context, Pullano claims that the main challenge facing European citizens is the one of identifying the mechanisms through which political subjectivity is altered in order to take part in the struggle for a social and a political form of European citizenship.
