Zusammenfassung

The European Union is founded on the idea of free movement. A generation of West European citizens - referred to by the author as 'Eurostars' - have pioneered a new kind of highly skilled and educated migration.

Eurostars and Eurocities Zusammenfassung

Eurostars and Eurocities: Free Movement and Mobility in an Integrating Europe Adrian Favell (University of California)

Eurostars and Eurocities: Free Movement and Mobility in an Integrating Europe examines intra-European Union migration in the cities of Amsterdam, London and Brussels.
  • Based on sixty in-depth interviews of free moving European citizens, and more than five years of ethnographic and documentary research, it uncovers the rarely studied human dimension of European integration
  • Examines the mobility, lifestyle and career opportunities created by the borderless society of the European Union, as well as the barriers that still persist
  • Analyses the new migration trends, challenges to the welfare state, and forms of urban cosmopolitanism linked to processes of European integration

Eurostars and Eurocities Bewertungen

The book is well written and holds ones attention in the analysis as well as the firsthand accounts. (The Delta Intercultural Academy, 1 September 2011)

Self-consciously and by design not a conventional social science product, Favell's book propels the reader much as a novel would into the private lives of 60 'pioneers of European integration,' educated and highly skilled trailblazers representing the 'small but symbolically powerful population' who have voluntarily left their 'nation-state society' to reap the rewards of denizenship in a big, rich Eurocity in northwest Europe. (American Journal of Sociology, September 2009)

Favell analyses the new migration trends, challenges to the welfare state, and forms of urban cosmopolitanism linked to processes of European integration. (European Urban Knowledge Network Research & Practice Review, February 2009)

In his new book, sociologist Adrian Favell challenges the belief that 'Eurostars' or high-flying expat Europeans, can live successfully anywhere in the EU. (Time Out Amsterdam, January 2009)
