Title

EUDIMENSIONS: Local Dimensions of a Wider European Neighbourhood

Founder

  • European Commission (6th Framework Programme)

The aim of the project

  • To better understand the implications of new European geopolitical contexts for crossborder civil society interaction
  • To analyse civil society co-operation processes, the multilevel contexts within which they operate and the role of the EU in conditioning these relationships within the Neighbourhood
  • To investigate the extent to which meaningful forms of conflict prevention, problem-solving and collective action are emerging at the EU’ s new “outer edges”
  • To understand how social knowledge and power can be mobilised as positive resources for regional co-operation and development (e.g. in terms of good practices)
  • To understand how the integrative role of the EU can be enhanced within the wider “Neighbourhood” through discourses, policies and supporting measures
