 | | To "southern" European countries - which, for Dr. Schwan, includes the central and eastern parts of Europe - European identity is "defined by the opposition to the United States." The "northern" countries (Great Britain, the Netherlands, Denmark, and Sweden), on the other hand, do not promote a sense of solidarity with other Europeans. |
 | | Schwan, who is president of the innovative Viadrina European University in Frankfurt/Oder, Germany, learned of her nomination for the presidency of Germany a day before the conference. |
 | | Schwan's academic experience is not limited to her post at Viadrina European University; she has also taught at the Graduate Faculty (1996-97) as a visiting scholar, and at the Free University in Berlin, among others institutions. |
