Europe is a contested construct and its boundaries are subject to redefinition. This work aims to advance critical thinking about contemporary nation branding and its relationship to, and influence on, nation building. In particular it focusses on key identity debates that the Eurovision Song Contest engendered in Estonia in the run-up to EU accession. The Eurovision Song Contest is an event which is often dismissed as musically and culturally inferior. However, this work demonstrates that it has the capacity to shed light on key identity debates and illuminate wider socio-political issues. Using a series of in-depth interviews with political elites, media professionals and opinion leaders, this book is a valuable contribution to the growing field of research on nation branding and the Eurovision Song Contest. 410 0$aPolitics and society in the Baltic Sea region ;$v2. 606 $aEurope$2bicssc 606 $aEstonia$2bicssc 606 $aPopular culture$2bicssc 606 $aTV & society$2bicssc 606 $aSocial issues & processes$2bicssc 606 $aPolitical structures: democracy$2bicssc 607 $aEstonia$xPolitics and government$y1991- 610 $anation state 610 $anational identity 610 $anation building 610 $aEurovision song contest 610 $aEuropean integration 610 $anation branding 610 $aEstonia 610 $aEurope 610 $aidentity construction 610 $aFinland 610 $aSoviet Union 610 $aUkraine 615 7$aEurope 615 7$aEstonia 615 7$aPopular culture 615 7$aTV & society 615 7$aSocial issues & processes 615 7$aPolitical structures: democracy 700 $aJordan$b Paul Thomas$0980014 801 0$bPQKB 801 2$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910140390003321 996 $aThe modern fairy tale : nation branding, national identity and the Eurovision Song Contest in Estonia$92235180 997 $aUNINA
