The European Parliament and memory politics: exploring the constellation of actors
The European Parliament and memory politics: exploring the constellation of actors
By Ana Milošević, Philippe PerchocEnglish
Over the past decades, the European Parliament has gradually taken on a new role, that of a chamber for debates and resolutions regarding the interpretation of European history. To understand the sometimes controversial results of these resolutions, we look at the rules, processes and political dynamics that have dominated these debates over time. The observation of these tensions and processes allows us to highlight the logics of construction of the European European memory framework proposed by the Parliament and which has political implications but also in terms of European public policies.
