Under this heading are the outlines and programmes of six conferences/workshops at the EUI between 2000 and 2006. They deal with Europe's unity and internal divisions and the role of the nation-states and their citizenships in European integration. Other teams are the connection between religion and modernity and the meaning of Europe.
This project studied innovatively the European public sphere. It questioned the prevailing conceptualisation of public spheres as nationally bounded and developing together with the nation state. It proposed an alternative, networked, and fluid conception of the public sphere that captures best the dynamic nature of the European public sphere, or indeed any public sphere in the 21st century.

The union between Sweden and Norway was established in 1814 after the continental turbulence provoked by the Napoleonic wars. It was dissolved in 1905 when Norway broke up from the arrangement imposed upon them by the European power game in the post-Napoleonic reordering. The book is an in-depth study of the union and its preconditions.The rise of the German empire shook its basis and the issue of democracy broke it up.
The project's focus was multicultural metropolitan spaces for exploring the new challenges and opportunities associated with contemporary social and
cultural transformations; especially those associated with migration.
