Course Aims  This course is designed to provide a detailed, critical and advanced understanding of the origins, manifestation, evolution and politics of citizenship and nationalism. While emphasis will be put on the historical emergence and evolution of both citizenship and nationalism within the state, the course will also examine forms of citizenship beyond the state, such as regional, supranational and cosmopolitan citizenships as well as the emergence of critical post-national narratives and ideologies, such as cosmopolitanism and anationalism. It will also review, explain and offer comparisons of citizenship laws and practices and varieties of nationalism across the globe. By so doing, it will further the participants’ understanding of the changing shape of states and institutional frameworks, and will enhance their appreciation of the inter-relationships that exist among the legal, political and economic environments. Finally, the course also aims to foster students’ research, intellectual and presentational skills and their ability to utilise information technology. Learning Outcomes On completion of the course the students should be able: • To understand the historical and institutional emergence and evolution of citizenship and the forces shaping citizenship laws and practices; • To understand the content and forms of nationalism and the complex politics surrounding it; • To reflect on and assess the institutional evolution of citizenship and the emergence of forms of citizenship below and beyond the state; • To define and distinguish concepts, ideas and narratives and to understand how their evolving meaning affects policy-making; • To understand the constraints and prospects of reform in citizenship law and politics; • To assess the ways in which national populism shapes policies and politics; • To research, collate and evaluate primary and secondary materials on chosen topics; • To utilise electronic resources to gather information, make appropriate use of relevant websites and be able to use word-processing software; • To enable the participants to develop their arguments in a logical, coherent and sophisticated manner.

Reading Important Note There is a very large academic literature on both citizenship and nationalism. Much of it is published in an array of journal articles, as well as textbooks, research monographs and essay collections. The reading list for each topic contains and selection of highly recommended readings as well as additional readings which will enhance the participants’ skills and will ensure the attainment of the above mentioned learning outcomes.
