How does food culture contribute to building European identity?

Bachelor thesis | International Studies (BA)
This thesis will focus on the area of Europe and the connection between European food culture(s) and European identity will be discussed. There are two cases studies in this thesis. The first case study will examine why Europeans’ preferences and standards of choosing what to eat are different from other cultures such as the United States and how the food choice has an influence on European identity. The second case will focus on how the Slow Food movement has risen in Europe under Globalization, and furthermore, how food culture contributes to building and enhancing European identity.
