Traditional notions of citizenship are linked to the idea of the democratic nation-state, a sovereign entity capable of defending itself against foreign and domestic enemies. But these notions have become increasingly problematic as the very concept of the nation-state is challenged, not only by ethnic and religious conflicts, but also by increased global mobility and the political integration of nation-states into international organizations-most prominently, the European Union. Will the concept of citizenship as we know it survive the decline of the nation-state?

Drawing on philosophy, theology, and literature, from the early Middle Ages to the present, Immemorial Silence traces a series of intertwined ideas.

Ideas for Europe - not asking what is, but what is not, and why. These are the questions of Olivier Védrine. As for professional reasons he holds a permanent dialogue with young people, it is clear that his ideas and questions reach out for young Europeans. What should happen with the institutions in Europe, with Turkey, Russia, with the climate change, with religious freedom and tolerance - this booklet is a firework of ideas. It is completed with some personal impressions of travelling to Ukraine and Azerbaijan. And it clearly underlines what we all have in Europe - more than a technocratic being, but one of a civilization of many hundred years and one of "unity in diversity". Olivier Védrine does not expect to be everyone of his opinion - he wants also to challenge opinions, to challenge European citizens to behave like a citoyen. The author Olivier Védrine lives in Paris/France. He is editor of European Union Foreign Affairs Journal (EUFAJ) where he writes regularly the last article ("Standpoint"), and he works as Professor at the IPAG Business School where he is Director of an MBA programme, at IÉSEG/Université Catholique de Lille, and other universities. The Lecturer of the European Commission (TEAM EUROPE France) is also President of the Collège Atlantique-Oural. Associate Research Fellow at the Chaire de recherche du Canada en politiques étrangère et de défense canadiennes (PEDC) of UQAM (Université de Québec à Montréal).

Although human dignity is an old principle in philosophy, the history of its legal form is relatively short. Since its first adoption in the preamble of the Irish Constitution and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights it has more and more proven to be a fundamental principle of law. The philosophers, lawyers and political scientists joint in this book discuss this assumption with respect to the legal form of dignity, its relation to values like freedom and autonomy, and analyze its implications for justice in difficult decisions. Because of the fundamental value of human dignity, comparative studies are intended to show its relevance in different legal orders and in international law.
