Keywords: cultural heritage, cultural participation, participatory governance, social integration, European Union.

Abstract

Cultural heritage, cultural policy and cultural participation are crucial topics for the European Union (EU) participatory governance and social integration. The purpose of the paper is to conduct and develop conceptual and legal research on the EU documentation in the field of cultural policy, cultural heritage and cultural participation engaging a three-step research plan: (1) the appraisal of the recent literature in the field; (2) the broad interdisciplinary approach to the relevant doctrinal and latest legal advances; (3) the policy and societal contexts influencing the citizen participatory actions. The added value of the research is related to the identification of the inner concepts and processes influencing participatory governance and social integration: cultural assets, historical and social structures and areas, cultural goods, conservation management and participatory governance.
