  2. Sibiu ECoC 2007 and local development • Meyerscough (1995) divided the European Cities of Cultureoccurring activities in three main approaches: • arrangements with an emphasis on infrastructure • festival programming • developing artistic concepts • Sibiu ECoC 2007, as other capitals, combined these approches

  6. Sibiu ECoC 2007 and its impact on local identity • Sibiu was nominated in 2004 with regard to its ethnic peculiarity, i.e a large Romanian city ruled by a German (Saxon) mayor • Despite this peculiarity, people in Sibiu are not very different from people in Romania regarding various attitudes, values and beliefs • The requirements for citizenship unravels an ongoing conflict between civic and ethnic aspects of citizenship

  7. The structure of requirements for citizenship in Sibiu

  8. Sibiu ECoC 2007 and its impact on local identity • most West European countries have already begun to see themselves largely as multicultural and multi-religious communities • Romanians and East Europeans still consider themselves as members of an ethnically based state • they inherited a long romantic tradition that had a single aim, to put in place the idea of a single people, a single language and a single state

  9. Sibiu ECoC 2007 and its impact on local identity • Fuss (2003) found that people from various European cities under scrutiny display strong relations to Europe, that the national and European identities are closer than expected and strongly correlated • By increasing contact with incoming tourists and investors, we withness a widening of local community in Sibiu • The effective European membership and the internal EU mobility may trigger the same effect on the national identity and strengthen the weak European identity (only about 4 %)

  10. Primary identification in Sibiu
