HomeThe fight against racism in the European Parliament in the early 1990s
Метаданни за публикацията
From the mid-1980s to the mid-1990s, the European Parliament took a strong stance against racism and xenophobia. Despite the European Communities' lack of formal competence in this area, the Parliament developed several measures with regards to it, driven by an anti-racist Zeitgeist. This study analyses the causes, methods and outcomes of the Parliament's mobilisation. Drawing on the European Parliament's archives, particularly those of the committee of inquiry established in 1989, the analysis reveals the numerous internal divisions among political forces behind a façade of anti-racist consensus. Also, the European Parliament's measures were partly a reaction to the formation of a radical right-wing group within the Parliament in 1984 and again in 1989. Despite these divisions and the institution's limited prerogatives at the time, the Parliament played a threefold role in putting anti-racism on the European agenda, acting as a relay for activist organisations, and framing the issue in terms of European values.
