ST: Comparative Politics

International migration is interactively shaping and being shaped by politics, economics, and social relations around the world. The politics of the state in relation to nationality, race, ethnicity, and citizenship are at the heart of the debate on international migration and immigration. This course will focus on both sending and receiving countries and examine the politics of international migration from a historical and comparative perspective. We will analyze why people migrate, the ways in which states and citizens initiate and respond to migration, and how states deal with and adapt to migration on both the domestic and international levels. The seminar includes: analysis of migration of the last few decades; examination of the historical relationship between immigration, citizenship, and nationality using the examples of the United States, France, Germany, the Netherlands as well as Japan and South Korea and the politics of immigration policy and membership and belonging in our contemporary global world.
