European Identity in the process of European Integration

European identity is a product of various Europe nations transcending their national identities on the basis of peace, e-quality and mutual respect, and it involves some dimensions such as European cultural identity, citizenship of European Union and identity on the European Union' s foreign and defense affairs. The formation of European identity is one of the major components of European integration, as well as a powerful force in promoting the development of European integration. It is playing a very important role in solving the legitimacy problem in the integration process, supplementing the deficiency of a functionalist integration model, cultivating people's loyalty toward European Union, relieving the contradictions among European nations, enhancing EU' s position and influence in international affairs, and also providing basis and dynamics for the eastwaid enlargement of the European Union. The development of European identity should be look forward to the future of Europe and common interests of different European nations, breaking the deadlock in the development of European integration, and also achieving the goal of good governance in Europe on the whole.
