Objective
The objective is to examine the prospects for a citizens ' Europe through taking stock of the EU as a rights-based post-national union. This requires attention to what kind of order is emerging in Europe: Is it moving towards a) a mere problem-solving entity based on economic citizenship; b) a value-based entity premised on social and cultural citizenship; c) a rights-based post-national union, based on a full-fledged political citizenship? CIDEL tests these options in different issue areas of the EU, i.e. constitution making, the question of the emergence of a European public sphere, enlargement, foreign and security policy, and social and tax policy.
Expected results are:
a) the specifying and testing of bargaining and functional adaptation;
b) conceptualizing the EU in polity terms;
c) clarification of the status of the EU in rights-based terms.
