About the workshop

With this workshop we want to address different aspects regarding the development of the European public sphere, considering both the actual institutional debates that  the EU’s is facing and broader questions such as the process of identity building in Europe, European citizenship, participation in the EU’s policy making.

The workshop is therefore aimed at presenting papers on both theoretical and empirical ongoing research on the European public sphere and at opening up a discussion and confrontation with experts coming from the EU institutions, the European Media and civil society networks involved on european citizenship issues.
