"A person who admires Europe, Europeans."</ref><ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=q7XWzpLENeUC&dq=europhile&pg=PA69 ''A Glossary of the European Union''], by Alistair Jones, pg.69. "A Europhile .. is likely to enthuse over European culture and society."</ref> In its narrower, and often pejorative sense, the term europhile is most often used in Europe itself in a political context, that is, in the context of an uncritical attitude towards the European Union. It refers to organizations and individuals with explicitly unquestioning pro-European attitudes, as opposed to Eurosceptics and Europhobes.
