Introduction: Euroscepticism and Multiculturalism

Abstract

This issue of the Utrecht Law Review is based on the second Utrecht University International Legal Research Conference on Euroscepticism and Multiculturalism, which was held on 7 December 2009. The aim of this conference was to shed some light on the ongoing discussion on the relation between Euroscepticism, multiculturalism or pluralism in the EU, and the influence of the European Union. This yearly conference is organised by students of the Utrecht University Legal Research Master’s course. This two-year international honours Master’s programme gives selected students the opportunity to participate in research projects, to set up their own research network and to prepare for both Ph.D. research and legal practice.

Keywords: Euroscepticism, Multiculturalism
