Diversity and Contestations Over Nationalism in Europe and Canada

Palgrave Studies in European Political Sociology Diversity and Contestations over Nationalism in Europe and Canada Edited by John Erik Fossum, Riva Kastoryano, and Birte Siim Palgrave Studies in European Political Sociology Series Editors Carlo Ruzza Department of Sociology and Social Research University of Trento Trento, Italy Hans-Jörg Trenz Department of Media, Cognition and Communication University of Copenhagen Copenhagen, Denmark [email protected] Palgrave Studies in European Political Sociology addresses contemporary themes in the field of Political Sociology. Over recent years, attention has turned increasingly to processes of Europeanization and globalization and the social and political spaces that are opened by them. These processes comprise both institutional-constitutional change and new dynam- ics of social transnationalism. Europeanization and globalization are also about changing power relations as they affect people’s lives, social net- works and forms of mobility. The Palgrave Studies in European Political Sociology series addresses linkages between regulation, institution build- ing and the full range of societal repercussions at local, regional, national, European and global level, and will sharpen understanding of changing patterns of attitudes and behaviours of individuals and groups, the political use of new rights and opportunities by citizens, new conflict lines and coalitions, societal interactions and networking, and shifting loyalties and solidarity within and across the European space. We welcome pro- posals from across the spectrum of Political Sociology and Political Science, on dimensions of citizenship; political attitudes and values; political communication and public spheres; states, communities, gover- nance structure and political institutions; forms of political participation; populism and the radical right; and democracy and democratization.

It is composed of a selection of the contributions that were presented at two Reconsidering Complex Diversity in the European Union and Canada (RECODE) workshops. RECODE was funded by the European Science Foundation (ESF) and ran during 2010–2014. When we started the RECODE project in 2010, the financial crisis had certainly already started to affect Europe, but we did not anticipate its depth or gravity, nor the successive confluence of crises when the refugee crisis and the Ukraine crisis struck. Consequently, there was much more optimism than today with regard to how modern societies would be able to handle difference and diversity. In retrospect, it might be fortuitous that the book has taken some time in completion, because this has allowed us to incorporate better the intentions that mar our societies at present—between the onus on opening up and fostering inclusion, on the one hand, and closing down and fostering exclusion, on the other. The book seeks to provide an overview of these competing tendencies. We are grateful to our colleagues in the RECODE project for a very stimulating intellectual milieu. Peter Kraus and Ivan Greguric have, in addition, helped us overcome various practical hurdles. We are grateful to Thomas Hylland Eriksen (University of Oslo) and Birte Siim (University of Aalborg) for having (co-)organised the two workshops that we have based the book on. We would like to thank our chapter contributors, without whose support and patience the book would never v [email protected] vi Preface and Acknowledgements have come about. We also wish to express our gratitude to the ESF for its financial and administrative support. We are also grateful for the support provided to us from ARENA at the University of Oslo and the University of Aalborg. We would like to extend a special thanks to Chris Engert for his excellent language editing, formatting and proofreading of the entire manuscript. Finally, we are grateful to our Palgrave editors for their support and patience.
