Abstract
Classical European integration theories provide us with limited knowledge about the interaction of diverse minority groups with and within the European Union (EU), as they tend to be teleologically wedded to the furthering of unity by way of integration. In contrast, as pointed out in our introduction, research programs exploring multilevel politics, identity, and citizenship can provide insight into understanding diversity in the EU. In this conclusion, we discuss the findings of our contribu- tors in light of these research agendas and point to some areas worthy of further analysis.
