Looking for Identities in Europe


About the Statement


Globalization and localization are cited among the main driving forces of today’s reality.

The same tendencies apply to Europe and its citizens:

  • on the one hand, despite present Euroscepticism there is certainly a strengthening European community or at least a „European-awarness”;
  • while on the other hand we can observe the growing importance of regions and local communities.
Decision-making and other competencies are also sliding to the supranational as well as to the subnational level, which posses critical questions concerning decision-making processes, democracy and citizens’ identity.

The statement tackles these challenges Europe faces today.
