Abstract
Culture, Practice and Europeanization (CPE) is an open access peer reviewed platform for publishing research-based articles predominantly dealing with research into the multiplicity of social processes, interactions, and policies relating to Europeanization and international encounters in Europe. Perspectives may be interdisciplinary. Empirical, theoretical and conceptual texts of significant originality will be considered for publication. CPE publishes foremost full-length original articles, but will also consider original reviews, conference speeches, and notes in order to inform the research community of most recent developments. CPE welcomes contributions that seek to enhance understanding of social processes relating to internationalization and further trans-national activities and processes in Europe.

The fundamental socio-political reason: The basic income discussion is excellently suited for discussing fundamental socio-political problems
Summary
In the last two decades, the demand for a basic income has become a public issue almost worldwide. Social security and social policy have been conducted mainly defensively for decades In view of this basic mood, the discussion of a basic income seems to have an element of a political culture of ’cheerful demand’ against the dominant Sachzwang-construction of politics and economics. Grundeinkommen (“alliance for a basic income“ – my translation) in the Federal Republic of Germany defines the basic income in its programme (2016) as an individual legal entitlement “without means test and without coercion to work or other consideration” (my translation) It is a cash benefit which "a political community unconditionally grants to each of its members". Reducing the supply of labour appears desirable against the background of the conviction that demand for labour is declining anyway This opens up the debate on basic incomes to questions about the long-term development of the labour market on two sides: the supply side and the demand side.
