This course introduces students into European diversity politicies and politics. It studies EU, national and local responses to migration related diversity (cultural, ethnic & racial, religious). The course approaches diversity governance from an empirical and theoretical perspective. It combines (comparative) empirical case studies with theoretical insights on the role of institutions, ideas and interests in policy making, theories of European integration and Europeanisation. Students will learn how and why EU Member States accommodate diversity differently and engage with the theoretical foundations that lie beneath these differences. They will also analyse how and why EU cooperation on diversity issues originated, and how European diversity policies influence national policies.
The course will include interaction with experts working within and outside of EU institutions on the topics discussed in the course. Practitioners views on diversity politics will add value to the empirical and theoretical discussions in class.
