Hans Kundnani writes: “Historically, being European meant being white. After World War II, a new European identity emerged around the European Union, but it too had a civilising mission and was based on forgetting the history of European colonialism and its relationship with European integration. More recently, as ‘pro-Europeans’ have become more defensive, there has been a civilisational turn in the European project.”

This online event will be chaired by Timothy Garton Ash (St Antony’s College, Oxford), with initial responses from the 2021 Dahrendorf Scholars Iyone Agboraw, Laura Ballerini and David Saveliev.
