Europe seen from the outside
In this video, we explain how European identity has often been defined against an “other”: the Ottoman Empire, the Russian Empire, and the United States of America.
Then we move on to stress the difference between how Europe perceives its place in the world, as a “power of the good”, and how others see it. Outside, Europe is often perceived as a successful space of regional integration. But its image can be ambivalent. While some perceive its international action as a force of democratization and of promotion of human rights, others regard it as patronizing
