CIDEL - Citizenship and Democratic Legitimacy in Europe
Detailed information on CIDEL is available at ARENA.
The ARENA web site will continue to be updated as publications from the project will be produced for quite some time.
CIDEL is a joint research project between nine partners in six European countries. The project is co-ordinated by ARENA at the University of Oslo and financed by the Fifth Framework Programme. CIDEL involves about 20 researchers within political science, law, media research and sociology.
The Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies is among these partners.
The paper by Erik O. Eriksen and John E. Fossum on EU Legitimacy (on this site) can be consulted as an explanation of the mission of the whole project.
