Why are hopes fading for a single European identity? Economic integration has advanced faster and further than predicted, yet the European sense of ''who we are'' is fragmenting. Exploiting decades of permissive consensus, Europe''s elites designed and completed the single market, the euro, the Schengen passport-free zone, and, most recently, crafted an extraordinarily successful policy of enlargement.
