Abstract
The book presented the findings of a fieldwork that combines different sources of data and evidence collected across the democratic, financial, and migration crises. It outlines the main factors that challenge the development of active citizenship at the EU level and in Italy, Turkey, and the UK. The analysis looks at the intertwining of practices and demands of active citizenship by civil society organizations in the EU and in three countries. I argue that the institutional project of identity building promoted by the European Commission is seriously undermined under the pressures of a permanent state of euro-crisis.
