Sažetak
This paper examines the issue of multiculturalism in Europe in the context of post-traditional social pluralization. For that purpose, the paper analyses the European social processes through the concept of culture, opening up the issue of the theory of reflexive modernization. Apart from the cultural aspect, there arises the political aspect of multiculturalism through the prism of the European political nation. The result of multiculturalism in Europe is paradoxical in that it turned the idea of integration into the ideology of exclusion based on the universality of freedoms. In de-territorialized areas of the
European Union there have been issues of supranational citizenship and its negation in practice as a result of the inability to de-politicize multiculturalism by means of political mechanisms. In this regard, the debate on the dilemma whether the project of multiculturalism aimed at group rights and the recognition of culturally diverse communities in European society has caused more harm than benefit still remains open.
