RECODE - Workshop #3

De-territorialized Diversity: Global and Transnational Dimensions


Oslo, Norway – June 7th-8th, 2012


Convenors: John Erik Fossum (Arena, Oslo)
Riva Kastoryano (CNRS-CERI-Sciences Po, Paris)


The workshop will explore a central issue of RECODE, namely the role of diversity with particular emphasis on the notion of transnational communities. Politics has traditionally been conceptualized and organized along territorial lines but the confluence of globalization, cosmopolitanisation and Europeanisation have given new impetus to the development of transnational communities. The workshop seeks to understand the nature of this phenomenon; how prevalent it is in the EU and Canada; what the implications are on minorities and systems of governing; and the nature and strength of nationalist reactions. The workshop is thematically organized to address these themes.
