Abstract

The panel explores the ongoing rise of identity politics by examining the complex dynamics of national identity and citizenship and their impact on current trends of inclusion and exclusion in contemporary societies. It discusses the liberal and legal aspects of identity politics in relation to nationality and citizenship, ranging from papers on statelessness to papers on citizenship. The panel brings together a diverse range of papers on the individual and collective aspect of constitutional identity on a national and European level and provides a comparative perspective of the role of everyday nationalism as a gatekeeper of inclusion and exclusion in British and German citizenship tests. In additional to that it, one of the papers discusses the social boundaries of welfare politics by exploring the quantitative data of 186 political party programmes across 27 European countries trying to understand how the welfare state is reshaped in response contemporary immigration trends.
