Comments
This seminar is an introduction to major theoretical approaches and substantive issues in the current sociological thinking on the nation-state and citizenship, with a view on their late 20th and 21st century reconfigurations via globalization. Substantively, the seminar explores the contemporary processes that underline the inclusions and exclusions in the body of nation-state and its citizenry: territorial and cultural closure of the nation, expansion of individual (human) rights and privileges, immigration and incorporation of diversity, and the populist and nationalist backlash against globalization. The seminar aims to orient students to recent conceptualizations, and theoretical and research issues in the field. Thereby it hopes to stimulate further research on the topics to be covered in the course. close
