"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 [[Euroscepticism|Eurosceptics]] and [[Anti-Europeanism|Europhobes]].
