300664 “Citizenship and State: Identity, Rights and Global Challenges” (MA: Soziologie und Anthropologie der globalen Welt) (S) (WiSe 2026/2027)

Contents, comment

Citizenship is a central topic in political and academic debates, shaping discussions on who has the right to enter, reside, work, study, and participate in the social and political life of a society. This course examines how citizenship constructs and dissolves boundaries, influencing social inequalities both within and beyond state borders.
Divided into three parts, the course provides a comprehensive introduction to key perspectives and contemporary debates on citizenship. The first part explores the concept of citizenship, tracing its historical evolution and defining its core meanings. The second part examines various theoretical frameworks that shape our understanding of citizenship. Finally, the third part analyzes the opportunities and challenges that citizenship presents at individual, national, and international levels across different contexts.
