The Summer School seeks to analyse the development of a European Public Space in our continent, with a multi-faceted set of policies. The School will help foster analysis, research and discussion on this issue, aiding the understanding of the complexity of the question of the social construction of Europe nowadays and how the EU is responding to the challenges of these last years. Employing a multidisciplinary approach, the Summer School will involve some of the most important scholars in the field from several European countries. It will address a broad range of issues, which include:
• European Constitution;
• European Integration Theories;
• European Foreign Policy;
• Social Movements in Europe;
• European Public Communication;
• Media and the Emerging European Public Sphere;
• Ethnic Diversity in Europe and Sub-State Nationalism.
