The conference brings together social scientists, policymakers and representatives of social/political actors examined by the EUROSPHERE project, i.e. European non-governmental organizations, political parties, think tanks, and media.
The key-note addresses will be given by Donatella Della Porta, Slavko Splichal, Stefano Bartolini, Judith Squires, Rainer Bauböck and Costas Douzinas, followed by presentation of EUROSPHERE mid-term findings and further discussions about the five thematic foci of the conference:
The integrative (unraveling), inclusionary (exclusionary) and emancipatory (repressive) potentials of the emerging European public spheres
The discourses / framings that are created in different types of European public spaces (about diversity, public sphere, and the EU)
The trans-national linkages and interconnectedness between different types of public spaces in Europe
The contributions of different types of social and political actors to the creation of the trans-European public spheres
The policy areas relevant to the analysis of European public spheres (citizenship, mobility, diversity, minorities, gender, migration, enlargement)
The main EUROSPHERE objective is to create innovative perspectives on the European Public Spheres. At the mid-term stage of the project, EUROSPHERE researchers analyse political parties, social movements, think tanks and media, citizens, and communicative public spaces with the aim to identify the conditions that enable or undermine the articulation of inclusive European Public Spheres.
