Interim Conferences - Lille 2010
Citizenship and Democracy:
Membership, forms of participation, within and across European
territories
Our first interim conference took place in Lille in November 2010 and was very successful.
Here is a list of the research streams we included:
1) Territories and practiced
citizenship from the local level to the transnational Euro-context: local democracy, urban segregation and citizenship;
citizenship and the nation-state;
supranational and transnational forms of citizenship, etc.)
2) New forms of
participative democracy and transformations of representative
democracy: associations, interest groups, political
networks, participation in the
digital public sphere; political parties and the transformation of
political
cleavages in a European/global context, protest parties, electoral
volatility
and voting behavior, etc.
3) Migrants and citizenship
in Europe: urban segregation and different
spheres of citizenship for migrants; representation of migrants in
national
party systems; (dissociation of) citizenship and nationality,
citizenship and
the crisis of national integration models; transnational mobilization
and citizenship.
4) Populism in Europe: populism, nationalism,
euroscepticism, radical right parties in the new cleavage structure of
national party systems, the electorate of radical right parties.
The conference was hosted by the CERAPS,
Lille Center for Politics.
All board members wish to express their
heartfelt thanks to the director of CERAPS, the local organizers and all the colleagues and friends who helped to ensure the success of this event.
