Kauppi identifies and critically explores the evolving dynamics existing between national and transnational spaces, groups and knowledge. Kauppi suggests that European public policies and transnational institutions like the European Parliament create new spaces, new types of knowledge and novel political practices. Toward a Reflexive Political Sociology of the European Union is structured around three parts. The first focuses on evolving transnational fields. The second explores the changing role of academics and universities. The third section engages with the works of Pierre Bourdieu on politics and the media. The issues discussed throughout the book revolve around the challenges to the nation-state and of knowledge production that is tied to it. This book will be an invaluable resource to academics and researchers interested in European politics, European Union studies and political sociology.Palgrave Studies in European Political SociologyPolitical sociologySocial sciences—PhilosophySociologyEurope—Politics and governmentPolitical Sociologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22170Social Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22140Knowledge - Discoursehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22120European Politicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911130Political sociology.Social sciences—Philosophy.Sociology.Europe—Politics and government.Political Sociology.Social Theory.Knowledge - Discourse.European Politics.306.204.04EP-CLASSKauppi Niiloauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut900929BOOK9910300571503321Toward a Reflexive Political Sociology of the European Union2268372UNINA
