This title was first published in 2000: This text deals with two
intertwined dimensions of multicultural citizenship of the European
Union. It studies the theoretical debate over how best to reconcile
multiculturalism, citizenship and the need for collective identity
at the European Union (EU) level by comparing EU citizenship with
cultural citizenship and multicultural studies in the United
States. In addition to this, through the study of EU documents, the
author contends that there exists such a thing as policies of
multicultural citizenship at the European Union level. He then goes
on to analyze their key aspects, such as the pursuit of symbolic
forms of multiculturalism and the arguments to support affirmative
action policies for women. The text also examines the steps taken
by certain EU institutions towards creating European identity and
improving awareness of citizenship and cultural heritage, while
meeting the test of subsidiarity. The author concludes that there
are competing discourses in EU institutions concerning the best
model for EU citizenship. Among other concepts, they construe
multiculturalism and transnationalism as contested and sometimes
opposing interpretations of citizenship. The text goes on to reveal
a lack of substantive connection between EU citizenship and
identity in the European Union, as well as the artificiality of EU
attempts to build it anew. It concludes that a plurality of
cultural constructions of EU citizenship, within the wider
framework of liberal culturalism, may be a viable model of EU
citizenship.
