A near-existential dilemma: the national template, the accommodation of diversity and the nationalist backlash

Activity: Talk or presentation types › Lecture and oral contribution

Description

The lecture argued that the reason Europe has difficulties accepting large-scale immigration and ethnic diversity should be sought in the basic structure of European nationalism and is not a phenomenon easily dealt with through good will or institutional reform. At the same time, populism and other forms of anti-elitism go hand in hand with increasing international interdependence; the business world and politics are moving apart; and the EU is trapped on the fence between nearly irreconcilable paradoxes.
