Social Agenda and Civic Participation within the European Union Multilevel Governance: A Content Analysis of the EU Legal Documentation (2016)

Summary/Abstract: The present study witnesses the social agenda and the civic participation within the European Union multilevel institutional establishment. The paper introduces and scrutinizes more than seven alternative items in the field of social action and civic engagement representing active displays of the European social praxis and referring to the innovative citizen-society empowerment links that define the theoretical structure of the European Union multilevel governance: development, innovation, inclusion, solidarity, entrepreneurship and legal settings. The aim of the study is to employ a seven-step content analysis of the main topics of the social agenda and civic participation using the following research model: 1) defining the main topics of the social agenda; b) targeting the conceptual understandings of each topic; 3) mapping an analytic framework based on the social action and social praxis of legal encounters. The paper develops a theoretical and practical approach to the emerging areas of the European social establishment.
