Abstract

The problem of national identity excites the whole European community. In recent years it has become clear that, politically, Europe has proved unable to unite a large number of nations into a constitutional state. In connection with the resurgence of nationalism, the crisis of the single currency, the unprecedented decision of a member state to leave the European Union (EU), key questions about the future of Europe are actively discussed. Is there a European identity? What does it mean to say: «I am European»? Where does Europe begin and where does it end? Who can legitimately claim to be part of a «European» people? This review is devoted to the discussion of the problem of how, through the data practices, the EU seeks to organize its population as a knowable, manageable unit and as a separate form of nationality.
