Interpretando el proceso de multiculturalidad en España y la propuesta de ciudadanía cívica de la UE

Abstract

We are living an Historical Time characterized by the international migrations. The arrival and permanence of people coming mainly from developing countries increasingly make clear that the current instruments to manage conflicts coming from modernity have difficulties to work with normality. Following the approach of change of paradigm of modernity as interpretation approach (1), i emphasize the three main indicators of multiculturality in Spain: use of populist arguments on the part of traditional political parties, bond between two processes of multiculturalidad: the multinationality and immigration, secularism or the management of religious pluralism (2). My final intention (3) is to underline how this debate also helps us to identify a new fracture within the UE between one more an opened (innovation) and closed (tradition) policy of immigration. In the end I will do a final balance transferring this dilemma between tradition and innovation in the new frame of immigration policies: the Hague program initiated in November of 2004.
