Anti-Europeanism

Anti-Europeanism  and  Europhobia  are political terms used in a variety of contexts, implying sentiment or policies in opposition to “ Europe „.

In the context of racial or ethno-nationalist politics, this may refer to the culture or peoples of Europe (see anti-white sentiment in the United States ); In the shorthand of „Europe“ standing for the European Union or European integration , it can refer to Euroscepticism , criticism of policies of European governments or the European Union.  ^[1]  In the context of United States foreign policy, it can refer to the geopolitical divide between “ transatlantic „, „transpacific“ and „hemispheric“ (pan-American) relations. The nominal antonyms would be  pro-Europeanism  or  Europhilia  . ^{[  clarification needed  ]}

„Europhobia“ is used of British attitudes toward the Continent , either in the context of anti-German sentiment or anti-Catholicism ,  ^[2]  or, more recently, of Euroscepticism in the United Kingdom .

American exceptionalism in the United States  ^[3]  HAS long led to criticism of European domestic policy (Such As the size of the welfare state in European countries)  ^[4]  and foreign policy (Such As European countries That did not Support the US led 2003 invasion of Iraq ).  ^[5]  The ideological split between reverence for European refinery and classics and an emerging anti-French and anti-European sentiment played by John Adams , Alexander Hamiltonand their fellow Federalists, and Thomas Jefferson and other Democratic-Republicans urging closer ties . ^{[  quote needed  ]}
