Objective
Approaching discrimination in a perspective of rights and fully-fledged citizenship is becoming an urgent issue in Europe. The European Union is the stage for a twofold process: new ways for addressing discrimination (after the Treaty of Amsterdam) are increasingly connected to new models for rethinking citizenship. However, there are no existing scientific works on this peculiar relationship between citizenship and discrimination.
As we are facing the emergence of new 'models ' of democracy in Europe, the necessity has become pressing of questioning and rethinking citizenship through the reality of discrimination and its impact on democratic solidarities. The conference on Citizenship and Discrimination in Europe is the opportunity of upgrading this debate.
The conference will propose analyses, hypotheses and perspectives on (anti-) discrimination in contemporary Europe. This perspective implies an updated presentation of the current policies existing in Europe by national and EU policy-makers and NGOs. The question of anti-discrimination in globalise societies will also be stressed. Publics, tools and methods of the fight against discriminations will be addressed and analysed.
It is then very important to connect the issue of discrimination with new emerging models of citizenship in Europe. The conference will then be the opportunity for thinking the way by which the boundaries of citizenship are challenged. Connected to that issue, religious discrimination will be analysed too, namely concerning the case of Islam in Europe.
At last, the conference will try to locate and analyse experiences and 'good practices' of anti-discriminatory initiatives, from a supranational to a local perspective. Then it will be the opportunity for focusing on the anti-discriminatory policies after the Treaty of Amsterdam. As a result, the conference on Citizenship and Discrimination in Europe will be a unique context for setting up a comprehensive and in depth framework about what does it mean to be a fully-fledged citizen in today's plural Europe.
