Citizenship defines rights and rules of belonging to a political
community. The German concept of ethno-cultural citizenship has
been highly contested in recent years given the increased
migration to the country. How has the modernization of
citizenship laws affected realities and perceptions of the
migrant population? Has multiculturalism "failed"' or is it well
and alive? The talk will address the current debate about
multiculturalism and explore the situation of migrant
populations in Germany in the light of new citizenship
regulations.</i></p>
