Full textThe definition of the EU as a constitutional legal order is crucial, but still fragmented. For the sake of systematization, it is important to find out a principle to support its development. That is why we made the choice of examining the principle of non discrimination through the analysis of case law, with the object of verifying if this principle is a fundamental part of the EU constitutional identity. In the first part of this work the structure of the discrimination scrutiny in front of the CJEU and of the ECHR is analyzed, enlightening the fact that its structure increasingly recalls that of a constitutional scrutiny. In the second part of this work we will focus on the contribution given by the case law on the fight against different grounds of discrimination to the EU constitutional identity. As there is an increasing number of grounds of discrimination, a choice should be made. That is why the second part of the analysis is devoted into explaining a selection of grounds of discrimination: discrimination on the ground of nationality, age, disability, religion, and sexual orientation. From the analysis of the case law and of secondary legislation is possible to induce that this principle has the potential necessary to support the development of the EU constitutional identity without prevailing on the national constitutional identities. At the same time, the principle could help into shading light in one of the most debated issues of EU law: the tension between the conferred powers and the direct effect of directives. The conclusion of this work is a reflection on how a precise line of case law is crucial into defining the principle of non discrimination as a EU constitutional principle

Full textWhat is a nation? What is the main drive of a national state? Over the last two hundred years, millions of people have died but most of all have died for the name of their country. What has allowed this? And today, what position does nationalism have within the European Union? From the various answers on this subject, one of note is elaborated by the American historian, Benedict Anderson. In his most famous book “Imagined Communities: Reflections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalism”, Anderson investigates deeply one’s feelings regarding national belonging, their culture, their roots and their diffusion in different cultural settings, revealing the roots of nationalism and the actual national structure, not in their political and parliamentary practice, but more so within the shared practices of inhabitants and their communities. Therefore, similar to an anthropologist, he develops a revolutionary vision in his description: the renewal is in viewing the nation as a cultural product; that is an artificial construction. He proposes a new definition of the nation: “a political imagined community” and imagined as sovereign and limited. It is imagined in such that the inhabitants of the most smallest nation will never know all their compatriots, however each person feels part of a community; a nation is limited because it is seen surrounded by borders, beyond these limits there are other nations; sovereign for the fact that the idea of a nation is inspired by Enlightenment ideas of independence and liberty; finally, it is a community because it is lived within an affectionate environment, despite differences, inequalities and exploitation. On the last ten years Benedict Anderson has had a great influence within the study of individual relationships, societies and national organization. Following the birth of European Union , combined with globalization and the union of the European market, the national identities has gone into crisis. Considering the all above points, my research intends to develop a reflection on the national identity in the contemporary societies, evaluating the theoretical elements in general, and also the actual political and cultural debate within the European Union.

Full textEls programes d’educació de la Unió Europea i la identitat Europea són reconeguts com a conceptes que inevitablement van de la mà, donat que programes educatius com l’Erasmus juguen un paper important en la construcció de la identitat Europea, i són utilitzats per crear consciencia. Aquest estudi tracta d’analitzar si els estudiants d’Erasmus, tant els que arriben com els que marxen, són conscients d’aquesta identitat Europea, així com determinar si els estereotips i prejudicis, tals com les barreres de comunicació interculturals, són obstacles en la construcció d’aquesta identitat, basant-nos en que aquests estudiants viuen dins de comunitats interculturals. Programes Europeus d’intercanvi com el programa Erasmus tenen el poder particular per enfortir les relacions entre les diferents societats europees. En aquest context, l’estudi investiga si l’Erasmus, com a programa d’intercanvi més important, repercuteix directament en la creació de la identitat Europea. A més, l’estudi intenta entendre com els estudiants d’Erasmus viuen la seva pròpia identitat en relació amb l’Europea, i quins efectes s’observen en la identitat nacional dels estudiants a través d’investigar els estudiants d’Erasmus catalans

Full textChapter 1 reveals the inadequacy of existing theories of European integration, and Chapter 2 traces this inadequacy to the issue of identity, tying it in with a modern identity crisis. It is argued that the theory and practice of European integration in the 1990's depends on a fundamental reconceptualisation of identity, to eliminate the conceptual rigidity of exclusive self/other binary distinction, and so to provide the basis for a new kind of European identity. In Chapter 3, the framework of a new "non-fixed", "non-essential" and pragmatic identity (and therefore European identity), beyond the self/other boundaries of contemporary thought, is elaborated through the work of Ludwig Wittgenstein, Michel Foucault, and Jacques Derrida, and its effect on the study and practice of European integration is assessed.
Wacogne, Emilie. "Le cinéma des héritiers de l'immigration en Europe." Thesis, Lyon, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016LYSE2175.
Full textThis thesis examines the question of multiculturalism which spanned the cinema of some European countries from 1993 to 2010. Our research is aimed at studying the role played by the history of immigration in the redefinition of national cinema in European countries. The countries analysed welcomed migrants prior to 1989 and have since been shaken by debates on national identity. In this postindustrial period, we noticed the national success of comedies representing the " descendants of immigrants", in France, Great Britain, and Germany. We recently observed the same phenomenon in Belgium, the Netherlands, and Sweden. The examples of movies analyzed reveal the long process of "integration" (and sometimes assimilation) of these guest workers in some European countries. Cinema, as well as music, dance, and literature, have become the arenas in which descendents of immigrants have expressed their hybrid identities. These comedies often reflect the opposite point of view of the news media. Some films are big box-office successes in their countries. The "descendants of the immigrants" contribute in particular to a renewal of the artistic scene of their country. The emergence of transcultural spaces in Europe reshapes national cinemas, and underlines the problematic nature

Full textSince the beginning of the Modern Era, the federal formula has been advocated worldwide as the adequate institutional tool to deal with politic and social diversity. It appears as a suitable model for the constitution of a compound legal order. As a political doctrine, federalism raises the question of collective membership in rather divergent terms compared to the classical identity models. Federalism offers an open and inclusive vision of identity phenomenons and guides towards a balanced institutional framework guaranteeing the coexistence of complementary identities.From its start, the European construction derogates with the core principles of federalism, constituting nevertheless a new experience of a compound community endowed with a strong political and identity integration potential.The parallel and comprehensive analysis of the Europe phenomenon in its most remarkable historical manifestations and the ethic and moral basis of the federal system reveals a strong homology between the idea of Europe and the federative model, as well as the rigidities of contemporary forma mentis restraining the process for the constitution of an actual European federal order

Full textDuring the last two decades the citizens’ trust in the European Union (EU) has decreased. It has been established that the Union suffer from a democratic deficit which has caused it to impose so called “identity-policies”. There is a need for the citizens to identify with the Union as a foundation of its legitimacy. But there is a problem since there is no clear idea of who constitutes “the people” in the European case.
Democratic theory presupposes a demos and a polity. The problem of the EU is that there are difficulties defining the ‘demos’ – there are difficulties identifying ‘the people’. The fact that the EU is in a situation where it has to deal with ‘peoples’ instead of a ‘people’ (demoi instead of demos) makes it more difficult since demos is closely related to the ‘nation’. Only nations may have states, thus the EU may not have a state. Hence it is difficult for the EU to conceptualize a demos, and without a demos there cannot be democracy. By arguing in this way the great need to create a ‘peoples’ Europe’ is understandable.
The thesis will concentrate on why there is a lack of a demos, or a “We-feeling”, within the Union, why this is a source of anxiety, and what possibly could unite the Union.
Attempts have been made to create a ‘European’ identity through constitution-making (however, a new constitution was recently rejected) and citizenship rights. The Union has also adopted a number of symbols to facilitate the citizens in identifying with the Union. Most of these symbols have been similar to those of the memberstates, thus, the Union has tried to use the methods of nation-building to overcome the legitimacy problem. Still, there is a lack of uniqueness of the Union. This may be for various reasons. Institution-building and constitution-making cannot alone provide democratic legitimacy; social practice and contestation must be included. This should take place in a public sphere but, in order to ‘have’ a public sphere, there must be a certain degree of collective identification.
It has also been claimed that there is a ‘European’ culture stemming from three ancient treasure houses (the ancient Near East, the ancient Greece, and the Roman Empire). Since culture is based on norms, i.e. customs, attitudes, beliefs, and values of a society, it is of importance to the Union when this is what politics are based on.
The study of this topic is relevant since the EU has an increased impact on the lives of its citizens, yet troubles to reach them. There is a lack of communication between the Union and its citizens and the democratic deficit becomes more and more obvious. The methods used by the Union do not seem successful and the issue of a European identity has become a source of anxiety.

Assumpció Huertas Roig
Ens trobem immersos en un procés de construcció europea on els avenços s'han produït a un ritme vertiginós. Les institucions europees cada cop han adquirit més poders de decisió, i el procés d'unificació ha abastat diversos àmbits, deixant de centrar-se tan sols en aspectes purament econòmics. Però perquè la democràcia avanci juntament amb aquest procés d'unió europea, és necessària la legitimitat viscuda i sentida d'aquestes institucions i de tot el seu procés de creació i evolució per part dels ciutadans. Tanmateix, a més de la legitimació formal, caldria aquella que es fonamenta en l'interès i la participació de tots els individus en els afers comunitaris; i aquests factors depenen, en gran mesura, del sentiment d'identitat europea existent i de la identificació amb Europa per part dels seus ciutadans.
Des de les elits polítiques europees es té la confiança en què la conscienciació de la legitimitat es pot resoldre pedagògicament. Monnet, un dels pares de la idea de la unitat europea, ja va afirmar: "Si hagués de començar una altra vegada, començaria per l'educació".
Aquest és un dels motius pels quals el present estudi se centra en l'àmbit educatiu. L'objectiu principal és conèixer empíricament fins a quin punt l'escola influeix en la creació de la identitat europea entre els adolescents, amb la intenció d'esbrinar com fomentar satisfactòriament aquest sentiment identitari des d'aquest àmbit.
Consegüentment, la pregunta inicial que ens plantegem en aquest estudi és: Com influeix l'escola en la formació de la identitat europea entre els adolescents, en àmbits on concorren múltiples identitats?
Per conèixer quin és el sentiment d'identitat europea que posseeixen els adolescents, com es relaciona dins l'entramat identitari, i quins agents són els principals influents en el procés de formació de les identitats, metodològicament s'utilitzen dues tècniques de recollida d'informació, que corresponen a les dues parts del procés d'aquest estudi: la quantitativa i la qualitativa.
Per l'anàlisi quantitativa s'empra un qüestionari d'opinió de caràcter descriptiu, amb el qual s'interroga als adolescents sobre els seus coneixements d'Europa, el seu grau de ciutadania, els sentiments identitaris, la seva acceptació de ciutadans i cultures extra-comunitàries, i finalment, les seves actituds i expectatives respecte a la Unió Europea.
La segona tècnica de recollida d'informació utilitzada és l'entrevista en profunditat semi-dirigida (anàlisi qualitativa), que ens proporciona una informació més completa sobre les identitats dels joves, els factors que influeixen en la seva formació i les relacions internes de complementarietat o conflicte que es poden crear dins l'entramat identitari de cada individu.
Els resultats de l'estudi confirmen la importància de l'escola com a agent clau en la formació de les identitats dels adolescents, des dels seus tres possibles àmbits d'influència: com a principal font d'informació i coneixements d'Europa, com a planificadora i realitzadora d'intercanvis escolars i com a educadora per a la ciutadania europea. Així mateix, també es comprova que el rol dels centres escolars en aquests tres àmbits no sempre obté resultats positius en el foment de la identitat europea. Es requereix que es compleixin unes certes condicions en la seva actuació. El descobriment d'aquests requisits ha resultat de cabdal importància per matisar quina ha de ser la tasca de l'escola i quins aspectes ha de potenciar si vol fomentar realment la identitat europea entre els adolescents.
En les conclusions es mostra, a través d'uns gràfics, quins factors influeixen en la formació de la identitat europea, i com actuen en l'entramat identitari juvenil. La família, -principalment els pares-, i l'entorn són els agents que més influeixen en el nivell primari de les identitats, que és el més subjectiu i emocional, a més de ser el que normalment determina la identitat principal dels individus, la més profunda i identificativa. Ja sigui per assimilació o rebuig, els adolescents adopten o canvien en part el llegat de les identitats paternes i ambientals. Contràriament, l'escola i els mitjans de comunicació, que resulten ser les principals fonts d'informació que reben els adolescents d'Europa, influeixen en el nivell secundari de les identitats, on l'entramat identitari se superposa i complementa. La seva influència és analitzada i seleccionada per part dels joves, resultant més informativa i racional que emotiva. Així doncs, l'escola no interfereix en la creació de la identitat primària i identificativa dels individus, sinó en la formació de les identitats complementàries; malgrat això, la seva influència pot resultar de cabdal importància en la creació de la identitat europea entre els adolescents si actua seguint uns objectius i uns paràmetres establerts.
Nowadays the cultural industry use socializational agents and marketing strategies trying to influence individuals identities. In view of the lack of european building's legitimacy by the citizens, political leaders try to increase the european identity between teenagers.Which agents have more influence? The mass communication power and the educational system. Consistently, the objective of this study is to analyze mass communication influence in the formation of european identity between teenagers.
This research is based, methodologically, in two sections: the quantitative and the qualitative one. The treatment of quantitative data have been realized by descriptive statistics, contingency boards and variables correlations using the SPSS programme.
Mass communication, and specially the television, are the second information source of Europe that teenagers receive. Although the high valuation of the media by teenagers, results of the study show that their influence is not so strong.
As a conclusion, there is necessary increase informations and kwnoledge of Europe in teenagers through mass communication. But the spread of any information is not enough. Is important to know cultural aspects of other countries and the advantatges that UE involve to all citizens of states members.

Dissertation performs a comparative discourse analysis (CDA) of four European Muslim intellectuals as each reflects upon religion state relations. The dissertation studies the multiple interpretations of Islam juxtaposed with the developing religion state relations since the Peace of Westphalia (1648) as well as the coordination between European Muslim communities and state institutions through Islamic policy networks relating to issues of Islam in Europe’s public sphere. The research compares the discourses of for Muslim intellectuals that are prominent in Europe’s public sphere: Bassam Tibi, Tariq Ramadan, Amr Khaled and Yusuf Qaradawi. The CDA compares the four intellectuals in a multi-dimensional framework comprising four categories. First is conceptual; second, institutional surrounding; third, social agenda; fourth, political action and political mobilization prescribed for Muslims in Europe. Studying the discursive presentations of Tibi, Ramadan, Khaled and Qaradawi the research reorganizes the principles of analyzing Islam and Europe opening the possibility of bridging potential obstacles and rigid interpretations of Islam and European identity. The research enlightens the study of religion state relations and the social establishment of Muslim as Europeans over the previous decades. Understanding the perceptions of Islam in Europe as simultaneously influenced by and influencing Europe’s religious discourse could elaborate the future development of European religions state relations for researchers, social organizers and policy makers

Full textEuropeanizing&rdquo
Islam is a process of inserting it into the politically acceptable formations of the secular in the European public sphere, not only does this project fail to offer a genuine alternative framework for belonging, or an authentic opportunity for dialogue, but also in fact consolidates the European civilizational identity on the one hand, and sustains the metanarrative about the Islamic threat on the other. The major argument of this thesis, therefore, is that the stranger (Muslim) is allowed to enter the host&rsquo
s secular space only under the conditions that construct Islam as the enemy. Forging a European Islam under the rules of secularism, without a radical interruption of the secular - religious division, and without referring to its implication in the discourses of Orientalism and racism, is ultimately a reconsolidation of the authority of the self-same European. This argument will be illustrated via a critical study of three cases of mosque debates in European cities.

In the Swedish curriculum for upper-secondary school, there is a formulation regarding developing the students’ European identity. Due to its difficulty to define, it raises the question regarding how teachers themselves conceptualize a European identity, which explains the main purpose of this study. Another objective was to investigate teachers reasoning regarding the potential possibilities and challenges when teaching about a European identity. Therefore, a qualitative interview study was conducted where seven active civics teachers were interviewed and analyzed using a social identity theory. The results of the study pointed to a lack of consensus among the teachers regarding what aspects to include in a European identity. Secularism, multiculturalism and the continent’s history emerged as the most prevalent aspects; however, each aspect was continually disputed by every teacher. There was also a lack of possibilities presented. EU and identity were the most obvious in terms of core content, but it requires a certain interest from the teacher. The interviewed teachers brought up several challenges, including its difficulty to define, its uncomfortable nature and, above all, its absence from the course curriculum. This effectively sidelines the European identity from making any significant appearance. The national and global identity are present in the course curriculum and are therefore given a higher priority.

Full textWith the signature of the Treaty of Paris in 1951, european unity moved from the field of dreams to reality. Common institutions were created, as well as a community law that harmonised the laws of the member states and recognised supranational citizenship. However, can we say that the european community really exists? Doesn’t it also requires the existence of a common representation that brings together the people who have walked through their stories to the rhythm of conflicts? Is there a feeling of co-belonging in Europe? This thesis argues that the unidentified political object that is the European Union cannot be the object of representation if it does not assume its europeanity. In other words, the existence of a consolidated european political community is here conditional on the representation of european identity, that is, on the existence of a set of shared references that consequently unify the differences that make up the territory. Therefore, on a first approach, the relationships between Europe and the space-time dimensions are questioned. These will then allow us to bring out the characteristic features of europeanity that form an european style. This european style will then be associated with political construction, the same way that contents must be associated with form. This will then be the time to question the European political models so that we may know, between nation state or Empire, which is most appropriate to the european style

Full textThe principle object of this thesis is the analysis of the EU and Russian discursive construction of four EU foreign policy roles. The main empirical question of the study is: How can the interplay of the EU-Russian perceptions contribute to the explanation of the strained EU-Russian relations at the ideational level and how did these dynamics contribute to the climax of the conflict as presented by the Ukrainian events? In order to answer this question this thesis proceeds with the analysis of how the European Union constructs itself as a foreign policy actor, how these self-representations reverberate in the Russian counter-discourse and what repercussions these mirror images have on the interactions between both actors at the ideational level and foreign policy outcomes. These empirical steps are based on the analytical and theoretical framework which is closely linked with the core assumptions of the constructivist and poststructuralist research agenda, namely the constitutive force of political utterances and the view that identity is the result of the interaction between Self and Other. The analytical framework accepts the all-embracing understanding of identity as ‘a feeling of Selfhood’ that consists of the following criteria: autonomy, unity, capability and ideational representations that are subject to external judgment. The empirical part of the thesis revealed that Russian counter-discourse exhibited a wide gamut of discursive reactions that go beyond the conventional recognition/misrecognition dichotomy. However, Russia manifested a conspicuous tendency towards challenging and contesting the EU’s self-ingratiating images as an established actor characterized by distinctive identity. These misrecognition patterns prevalent in Russian political narrative created conflictual predilections intensified by the EU’s reciprocal resistance to these mirror images, which in turn cast into doubt Russia’s status as a ‘Significant Other’ and ‘strategic partner’. Therefore, in their ‘struggle for recognition of the status’ both actors found themselves caught in the vicious and self-reinforcing cycle of mutual mis- and non-recognition. The difficulty to avoid it originates from its framing in the terms of hierarchy and securitization leading to extraordinary measures like the Russian involvement in crisis in Ukraine.
