Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Traditionally citizenship has been understood as a bundle of rights and obligations for members of nation-states. International migration upsets this conception by creating citizens outside and foreign residents inside state territories. This seminar will combine comparative and normative literatures.
We will discuss the transformations of citizenship in a context of migration and European integration. In the first part of the seminar we will examine the shifting meaning and boundaries of citizenship from a conceptual angle. In a second part, we will look at the rules for acquisition and loss of the citizenship as a legal status in EU member states. The third section considers transnational citizenship statuses of migrants: 'denizenship' for long-term residents, external citizenship for expatriates, and the proliferation of plural citizenships. In the fourth part of the seminar we look at European Union citizenship and its supranational, transnational and multinational dimensions. The fifth part will address the controversy among normative political theorists about justifications for immigration control. In the concluding sixth part, students will present short case studies of citizenship constellations in specific countries or for certain migrant groups. As a resource for research on citizenship regimes, students are encouraged to use reports, data and documents that will be published online on an observatory on citizenship in Europe from September 2009 at: www.eudo-citizenship.eu.

Methoden: (Teaching Methods)

The course is structured into the six thematic blocks outlined above (three hours for each theme) and will combine a lecture and seminar format. The seminar will be held as a block seminar on three full days (9 units of 45 minutes per day) on 7 November, 18 December and 8 January. A preparatory meeting (1 h) on 9 October and attendance of a guest lecture (2 h) on 5 November are mandatory for participation in the course.
The first unit will be a guest lecture by the teacher, subsequent units are introduced by one or several student presentations, followed by discussants' comments, a presentation by the teacher and general discussion.
