This article empirically explores the impact of symbols of European integration and good or bad news about Europe on individuals’ European identity. The analysis is based on a distinction between civic and cultural components of identity, which enables testing of the model in a way that could not be done with existing survey instruments. The model depicts these two components as conceptually and empirically distinct and responding differently to various cues in the environment. The findings showthat many respondents identify with Europe and the EU, mostly in civic terms, and explain how citizens and institutions interact to nurture identities. They show the strong impact of symbols and news on European identity. Other findings include the predominant effect of symbols on cultural identity and news on civic identity. The results have profound implications for our understanding of European integration, political behavior, and minority integration in multicultural societies.

Remarks: Containing seven colour plates with 40 flags each. Available on line.

Apart from the Swiss flag with inverted colours and i being listed as part of “Deutschland”, I had noted several other discrepancies on the flag plate:

• if the atlas had been published in 1862, why was there no flag of the Confederate States of America, which had been in existence for at least a year before the atlas was published;
• why was there a flag of Texas and no other state flag, when the Republic of Texas had been part of first the US and then the CS since the late 1840s at least; and
• why was there a script capital letter "L" (presumably standing for King Leopold I) on the central yellow stripe of the Belgian flag, and when was this letter removed?

I concluded that from some of the internal evidence the flag plate actually predated the publication date of the atlas by at least a decade and possibly one and a half decades, and may well have originally been prepared for earlier editions of the atlas and had not been edited.

The plates do of course contain several errors, some of them quite irritating. However, I do not think that this means the plates had been prepared in 1852 or the like. For most of the flag books or plates of this age, you have a lot of outdated information, old flags, wrong flags, missing flags. This is most probably due to the fact that the authors usually used unreliable old sources, without citing them, of course. Dating of undated flag books or plates thus becomes a puzzle.
