Hi, my name is Hugo Apéro. Nice to meet you.

Not used.

A back and forth review-and-response (‘Critical Dialogue’) between Erik Bleich and myself, as authors of Covering Muslims, and Elisabeth Ivarsflaten and Paul M. Sniderman, authors of The Struggle for Inclusion: Muslim Minorities and the Democratic Ethos. As we write in response to their review, ‘Juxtaposing the findings of our two books leads to a host of compelling research questions. We look forward to further research that enriches our understanding of the interactions between media coverage and public attitudes toward Muslims and other marginalized groups.’

The long-term viability of European integration relies on a sense that member states and publics share important connections. Whether framed in terms of a European identity, the idea of linked fates, or more prosaically economic interdependence, a feeling that states and publics are connected is essential. Where does such a feeling come from? Does it make sense to think of it as transnational solidarity? Is it stronger in some countries than in others? And how do the European Union’s limits affect who the connectedness extends to?
