A study of the social, cultural, and political mechanisms lying at the heart of cultural conflicts, as seen from a European perspective. Based on two case studies – the conflicts resulting from non-Western, mainly Muslim immigration to Denmark and Europe; and the uneasy liaison between Europe and Turkey — we will delve into more theoretical analyses of central concepts such as integration, assimilation, multiculturalism, recognition, cultural norms, identity, nationalism, and tolerance.
