Sažetak
Societies are characterised by the social structure, traditions, values, norms and culture(s) that change over time. They are based on individual identities, and these in turn are influenced by historical, social and economic developments. As social ties increasingly traverse the boundaries of nation states the necessity to revisit and to re-frame the discussion on the development of a European Society becomes obvious. The depth and breadth of cultural, social, economic and political ties across the boundaries of European national spaces continually increases. Related to this, the need for the development of diverse types of representations of European citizens at different level grows as well. European social spaces emerge in multiple and fragment¬ed forms. Administrative concepts that aim at translating the concept of a federal Europe in a bureaucratic manner is not an appropriate answer to new social realities and rather contribute to the aleniation between the European Union and its citizens. Transnational spaces in Europe do not simply overlap with the administrative concept of a supranational European framework nor do they correspond to the administratively determined EU regions. However, Europe is beyond any doubt a reality that has to be understood in an appropriate framework that ultimately will lead to new concepts of a truly European Society.
