The Treaty of Versailles
Delanty admits in his preface that his book is meant more for political scientists than it is for historians but I found his over exaggerations and lack of historical nuance hard to read. Sentences such as "The idea of civilization did not survive into the Twentieth Century" (109) are blatantly wrong.
In terms of argument, Delanty posits that 'Europe' as an idea was constructed through an othering of non-Europeans, such as Jews or Russians. Whilst this is convincing, it is also little that is new to us, even in the 1990s when the piece was written, and hasn't been new to us since Said. Delanty argues that Europe must now throw off nationalist individualism and embrace the cosmopolitan. A nice idea, but easier said than done.
