Abstract
The aim of this project is to situate the contemporary concept of citizenship in the context of transition societies of Central and Eastern Europe and define its significance for political equality, participation and social cohesion. We will focus on the practices and mechanisms of exclusion (based on sexual orientation, ethnicity, social class or some other identity) through the analyses of policy documents and public discourses. Furthermore, we will examine the sources of the politics of exclusion and compare situations in selected Central and East European countries (Slovenia, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary and Yugoslavia). In addition to situating the concept of citizenship, identification and analyses of exclusion practices, the project aims to identify conditions, courses and measures that could lead to the changes in existing political and social practices towards an increased inclusiveness. The project will include two international workshops and two case studies, namely the applicability of multi-cultural and multi-ethnic citizenship models in CEE regions and the analysis of active citizenship and integration into the EU.
