The policy of multiculturalism in Europe is facing a systemic collapse, fueled by the post-2008 rise of nationalist movements.

Economic instability has emboldened opponents of integration, as “titular nations” resent funding social benefits for migrants perceived as unintegrated or ungrateful.
Simultaneously, diasporas are radicalizing, presenting demands that many Europeans find inadmissible.

This escalation has propelled far-right parties into parliaments, forcing leaders to acknowledge the failure of a once-foundational ideology.

The core challenge lies in understanding the divergent perspectives of both native populations and migrants.
Beyond identifying the failure, the project seeks a mechanism for social consolidation that avoids public irritation.

It poses a critical question: how can society be unified while respecting regional mentalities and navigating the friction between host countries and migrant communities in an era of diminishing tolerance?
