Taylor & Francis Ltd - Europe: Continent Of Conspiracies Conspiracy Theories In And About Europe - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: This edited volume investigates for the first time the impact of conspiracy theories upon the understanding of Europe as a geopolitical entity as well as an imagined political and cultural space. Focusing on recent developments the individual chapters explore a range of conspiratorial positions related to Europe. In the current climate of fear and threat new and old imaginaries of conspiracies such as Islamophobia and anti - Semitism have been mobilised. A dystopian or even apocalyptic image of Europe in terminal decline is evoked in Eastern European and particularly by Russian pro - Kremlin media while the EU emerges as a screen upon which several narratives of conspiracy are projected trans - nationally ranging from the Greek debt crisis to migration Brexit and the Covid - 19 pandemic. The methodological perspectives applied in this volume range from qualitative discourse and media analysis to quantitative social - psychological approaches and there are a number of national and transnational case studies. This book will be of great interest to students and researchers of extremism conspiracy theories and European politics.
