European Union citizenship is increasingly relevant in the context
of both the refugee crisis and Brexit, yet the issue of citizenship
is neither new nor unique to the EU. Using historical, political
and sociological perspectives, the authors explore varied
experiences of combining multiple identities into a single sense of
citizenship. Cases are taken from Canada, Croatia, Czechia,
Estonia, Spain, Switzerland and Turkey to assess the various
experiences of communities being incorporated into one entity. The
studies show that the EU has a comparatively large degree of
diversity and complexity, with levels of integration achieved in a
relatively short timeframe. Advisory models based on Canada and
Switzerland allow for the EU integration processes to continue
while protecting diversity and upholding common institutions.
Citizenship in Segmented Societies will appeal to academics and
students in the field of European and federalist studies with a
focus on multiculturalism and linguistic pluralism, minority
rights, and citizenship issues. It will also be of interest to
those with a particular interest in historical and comparative
analysis of the EU. Contributors include: A.C. Bianculli, F.
Cheneval, C. Erdogan, M. Ferrin, V. Hlousek, J. Jordana, S. Lopez,
M. Sanjaume-Calvet, G. Tavits, H. Yilmaz, C.I. Velasco Rico
Whereas 'democracy' assumes a single demos or people, 'demoi-cracy'
refers to democratic government and governance in a polity
constituted by separate peoples. Since the European Union consists
of many demoi with different collective identities, largely
separate public spheres, and a predominantly national political
infrastructure, demoi-cracy is an appropriate standard for the
analysis and evaluation of democracy in the EU. In its vertical
dimension, demoi-cracy is based on the equality and interaction of
citizens' and statespeoples' representatives in the making of
common policies. Horizontally, it seeks to balance equal
transnational rights of citizens with national policy-making
autonomy. This volume offers exemplary studies exploring the
potential for and the workings of demoi-cracy in the EU across a
broad range of institutions and issues in both its vertical and
horizontal dimensions. In particular, the contributions address the
following questions: Is demoi-cracy relevant to citizen attitudes
and public discourse on the EU's legitimacy? How do national and
supranational democratic institutions interact? Do the EU's modes
of governance, such as regulation through agencies, mutual
recognition, and the open method of coordination, meet demoi-cratic
expectations? This book was originally published as a special issue
of the Journal of European Public Policy.

Der Band beleuchtet Leibniz' Rechts- und Staatsphilosophie im
Kontext seiner Metaphysik, Logik, Erkenntnistheorie und
Moralphilosophie. Auch die Rezeption seiner Rechts- und
Staatsphilosophie wird in den Beiträgen reflektiert. Gerade im
Hinblick auf die aktuelle Diskussion um die politische Gestaltung
Europas und die kosmopolitische Gestaltung der Globalisierung
verdient seine Philosophie Aufmerksamkeit - nicht zuletzt auch auf
Grund interner Spannungen, die das politische Selbstverständnis
Europas bis heute kennzeichnen.
