Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

International migration and the rights of migrants are some of the most controversial topics of the 21st century. Why is that? Was it always this way? This course offers a detailed examination of the development of citizenship law and both immigration and emigration law. The ancient, medieval and early modern roots of these legal domains shall be explored, but the focus of the class will be on the 19th-21st centuries, from the development of modern immigration law to today. The geographical focus will be on the USA and the former British Empire (the main immigration destinations), and Europe and Asia as countries of emigration.
