Diverse Europe

Amsterdam Centre for European Studies - ACES

Refugees, religious and political minorities are increasingly excluded from citizenship. This raises fundamental questions regarding Europe’s identity/ties, citizenship, economic participation, shared values, and understandings of Europe’s past, and desired future. Who defines Europe’s identity, and the right to access, or break with it? What narratives contribute to the construction of Europe’s identity and how do these legitimise and transform into (legal) mechanisms to include or exclude? What is the role of cultural representations in making and contesting Europe today?
