Objetivo
"The aim of the present research project is the study of European statehood and of its current restructuring and redefinition. More precisely, this project will focus on two elements of statehood redefinition, that is EU citizenship and EU’s spatial policies, and their relationship.
The objectives of the present research-project are the following:
1. Understanding how statehood and governmentality are being restructured in contemporary Europe, that is providing an account of European integration as a process of redefinition of national statehood, or at least of some of its elements, at the continental level.
2. Providing an account of how citizenship, as an element of statehood, is being rearticulated beyond the nation-state, even though in historical continuity with it, and of how geographical space is acting as a crucial element in order to redefine citizenship and government in contemporary Europe.
3. Rethinking the relationship between the two concepts of citizenship and space from the point of view of political theory, starting from the elements of transformation that Europe provides with respect to modern political grammar.
In order to take into account the bi-univocal relationship between European citizenship and European state-space, we will concentrate on three case-studies:
1. I will take into account the policies concerning the regulation of free movement of people within the EU.
2. I will consider the link between geographical enlargement and political integration in the case of the referendums on the European Constitutional Treaty
2. I will take into account the space of the city as a place of contestation and of redefinition of citizenship in contemporary Europe"
