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.
