    Abstract

    This paper argues that the surging anti-Americanism in Europe since 2003 has helped strengthen the Europeanidentity by shaping a political, economic, social and cultural “Other” — the U.S.—among the Europeans. It firstsurveys the contemporary European anti-Americanism including its historical roots, and then moves on toanalyze its role in the current European identity building through examining two typical cases and empirical datafrom the Eurobarometer.
