About the EuroChallenge research project

EuroChallenge is a major research project that addresses the place of Europe in the context of a rapidly and radically changing global order. Using an interdisciplinary approach, the project examines the intersection of a changing global configuration on the one hand and still unresolved tensions of European integration on the other across the market, politico-legal and socio-cultural domains. These three overlapping and inter-related European forms of order represent the key forms of post-war supranational integration. They each represent solutions to the dilemma of how to organise European space, and on what principles, in a globalising world. Yet each domain contains unresolved and on-going tensions.

As the world supposedly moves into a crisis-riven and uncertain phase beyond ‘globalisation’, so each of the three domains faces key challenges to the delicate European compromises of the past half century: between respectively market and social cohesion, supranational governance/law and democracy, and cosmopolitan diversity and the value of national communitarian purpose. It originates from EURECO, the long-standing interdisciplinary initiative for European research involving the Faculty of Humanities, the Faculty of Law and the Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Copenhagen.

The project is funded by the University’s 2016 funds and runs for five years from 2013.
