Short contribution (report) to be used in dissemination events about the empirical relevance of a social constructivist and discursive approach to EU identity emergence and integration

Short introductory document about the opportunity and relevance of a social constructivist and discursive approach to EU identity emergence and integration. This document is meant to support the presentation of PERCEIVE in dissemination events. The main focus of this document will be conceptual, but at the same time it will emphasize on the practical implications that this so far only very little considered perspective has for understanding better the discourse about the EU, Cohesion Policies and regional diversity
