Thanks for that interesting paper... Extract: If this thesis is correct, Rex's suggestion that the crisis of national identity today is a response to the dual threats of globalization, such as European integration, and the increased flux of immigrants is unsatisfactory. I can see no evidence whatsoever that, say, the extreme nationalism of the French National Front is related to a fear of European integration. Indeed, the opposite may be the case, as is suggested by the European New Right who advocate a new racist European identity, and that something like a new European nationalism is emerging (Varenne, 1993). Le Pen himself does not articulate open hostility to other European nations and does not oppose European integration. He stands for the exclusion of immigrants from Europe and not just from France. [snip] Indeed, as a Euro-deputy himself, Mr J.-M. Le Pen is in no position to scapegoat the EU... As Charleymane would put it, beware of the European Frankenstein!! Gus
