EDAP
European Diversity and Autonomy Papers
- English
Established in 2004, by the then Institute for Studies on Federalism and Regionalism and the Institute for Minority Rights at the then European Academy, EDAP, the European Diversity and Autonomy Papers, emerged as an influential online series of working papers. The series sought to advance theoretical frameworks and empirical explorations pertaining to the diverse landscape of Europe. This encompassed a wide range of dimensions, including ethnic identities, cultures, regions, values, identities, institutions, and structures. Key topics within EDAP revolved around regionalism, federalism, minority protection, multiculturalism, and the overarching concept of "constitutional flexibility" in Europe. While the series primarily focused on comparative constitutional law and EU law, it also welcomed contributions from diverse disciplines such as political science, international relations, and economics. In 2022, this commitment to interdisciplinary perspectives paved the way for EDAP's evolution into the Diversity Governance Papers, DiGoP.
