“The book is notable for its extensive attention to the thinking of youth both in Europe and “abroad”.”
-Norman Naimark, Stanford University

Much of the literature on the EU and international relations follows elites and policymakers in looking from the top down and from the inside out. This enquiry attempts a double reversal of the gaze: it probes Europe from the outside in, and from the bottom up. It explores how the continent is seen through the eyes of other global powers (China, India, Turkey, Russia, the United States) and their younger generations, whose views often tend to elude scholarly attention. The book provides an original account of how power affects international perceptions, and how international perceptions affect power.
