Citizenship in Germany: From Mono-Cultural to Multi-Cultural Society//

//

/
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./

Department of Germanic and Slavic Studies.
