Summer course Nijmegen Radboud University: Citizenship and Migration: Europe’s 21st Century Challenges (no legal background necessary))
Date: 6-10 August 2018
Fee: € 435
Discounts: 10-25 %
Preliminary course programme (docx, 1.7 MB)
Early Bird Deadline: 1 April 2018
Application Deadline: 1 June 2018
In this course we unravel the interconnected fields of EU citizenship and EU migration law, and focus on understanding the differences that exist between EU citizens and migrants in relation to topics such as; the possibility to physically enter or leave the EU, the right to work or seek education, the right to family reunification or the right to be treated equally. While these issues are intrinsic to western understandings of what it means to be a citizen of a nation state, the EU dimension brings new challenges to the constitutional arrangements that legally define the relationship between people and administration within a given territory.
After taking this course, you will be able to better understand the legal and political issues at stake in discussions concerning, for example, the attempts of Syrian refugees to reach and enter 'fortress' Europe, the role of borders in shaping practices of migration or discussions about the fundamental character of free movement of persons and attempts to redefine its meaning and implications.
The Centre for Migration Law (Faculty of Law) has been doing empirical and theoretical research on migration and asylum for 20 years and is renowned for its interdisciplinary approach combining law, sociology, anthropology, etc. This course is part of the Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence programme. It is designed to familiarize you with some of the most pressing issues in the field of migration law and help you develop your own perspective on how the EU should proceed in this policy field. It consists of interactive lectures and depending on the number of students an individual or a group assignment based on the issues addressed during the course.
During the course, students will be able to engage with leading experts in the field of migration as well as receive feedback on their individual or collective work.

This
summer course will give you new perspectives and insights into the
meaning of citizenship and migration in the European Union and help you
develop an understanding of relevant policies and laws affecting
migrants and citizens.
Citizenship and migration raise fundamental
questions about the nature and purpose of the European Union and its
commitment to democratic values, human rights, and the rule of law. The
Maastricht Treaty of 1992 introduced EU citizenship as a new political
and legal concept intended to capture the relationship between the EU
and (some) of the people living within its territory as well as signal
the Union's evolution from an economic organization to a political one.
The failure to legally incorporate third country nationals in this new
legal and political space started to be rectified with the creation of
the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice in 1999, and the start of the
common EU policy on migration and asylum.In this course we unravel the interconnected fields of EU citizenship and EU migration law, and focus on understanding the differences that exist between EU citizens and migrants in relation to topics such as; the possibility to physically enter or leave the EU, the right to work or seek education, the right to family reunification or the right to be treated equally. While these issues are intrinsic to western understandings of what it means to be a citizen of a nation state, the EU dimension brings new challenges to the constitutional arrangements that legally define the relationship between people and administration within a given territory.
