Understanding Hybridization, Governing Change

The title of the research project of the Oasis Foundation for the biennium 2014-2015 is “Understanding Hybridization, Governing Change”. The research focuses on the ever-closer relations between the West and the Muslim world, as well as the presence of many immigrants that generate profound transformations in the European societies, increasingly plural. What exactly is changing? And, more importantly, is it possible to govern this process or are we destined to endure it passively? Below you can find all the publications and the acts of the conferences held during this project, realized thanks to the contribution of Fondazione Cariplo.
