Offizielle Kursbeschreibung: Migration movements in the 20th and 21st centuries, either forced or voluntary, created their own unique statuses. Starting with guest worker agreements in the 1960s, migrants changed the primary definition of citizenship. At the beginning of the 20th century, citizenship was a strictly defined legal status mostly struc-tured within the state of belonging to a nation and a nation state. Migration movements altered this description. Gradually, the notion of citizenship became a living condition depending on situations and circumstances; moreover the terms used to define this legal status vary. Obviously, this is directly linked to evolving migration and citizenship laws of states. The same applies to forced migration and protection statuses under public international law. When the 1951 Refugee Convention came into force, it was only regulating main statuses such as refugee and asylum seeker. The first two decades of the 2000s have shown that these terms are not enough to cover all displaced people. The increasing numbers in forced migration created new terms to define individuals which pro-tect both displaced people and the states. The course is focused on changing statuses in migration and refugee law and their effects on individuals’ rights. The seminar is planned in two parts. In Part I, the discussion will focus on voluntary migration and different aspects of citizenship. Accordingly, the course will ad-dress migration and citizenship laws in selected European states. Following, in Part II, we will discuss the current situation in forced migration (mostly focusing on Syrian humanitarian crisis) and study the international legal regulations on this topic. In this respect, we will study the definition of relatively newly employed protection statuses such temporary and international protection and the rights attached to them. The course aims to facilitate the term inflation and ambiguity on rights, inherent in migration and refugee law. Es kann ein englischer Sprachschein (bei Teilnahme an der Veranstaltung sowie Bestehen einer Prüfungsleistung) erworben werden. Studierende, die einen Sprachschein im Rahmen der Veranstaltung erwerben wollen, werden gebeten, sich anzumelden (LS Prof. Schiedermair).
