Harmonising British and European Identity in a Technological Project
White, Stephen Washbourn ; Janáč, Jiří (advisor) ; Sonkoly, Gábor (referee) ; Koura, Jan (referee)
This research project will focus on the relationship between technology and integration. In practise, this means taking a transnational European project and using it as a lense in political and social discourse to trace how Britain and Europe have been placed regarding each other, and the implications this has for British identity. The chosen technology is the Eurofighter Typhoon, whose development involved numerous European nations ranging from Spain to France and Germany. The work seeks to contribute into the historiography focusing on identity in Britain's Europhile versus Eurosceptic debate, and the growing field of technological history spearheaded by works linking technology and the co-construction of national identities. Keywords: Technology, Integration, Europhile, Eurosceptic, Britain, Europe, Eurofighter.
