2) International Workshop: “Dawla Madaniyya: A Future for the Civil State in the
Arab World?”, University of Cologne, 19-20 January 2015

The term dawla madaniyya (civil state) was one of the most often heard during the so
called ‘Arab Spring’ uprisings across the Arab world and became a ‘floating
signifier’ invested with multiple notions linked to the relationship between the
governing and the governed, to citizenship, justice, security, the role of religion
in state, etc.

East region are being transformed in the current historical conjuncture. Of
particular importance in this context will be ideological and political alliances

Antisemitism’, and ‘Islamophobia’ and how these relate to racialised discourses
against Jews and Muslims.
