Identity and Polarization in Europe

Session Submission Type: Created Panel

Session Description

Europe is in perhaps the most precarious position it has occupied since the end of World War II. The rise of far right political parties, increasing polarization, and a land war in Eastern Europe threaten the gains and stability of the past 75 years. This panel brings together research on issues of identity and polarization across the continent.
