ISF C145 - Multicultural Europe (4 units)
Instructor: HOLUB, T T 0200 0330 PM, 22 WARREN, Exam 05, CCN: 45812
This course focuses on the transformations taking place in contemporary Europe. These pertain to the formation of the European Union on the one hand, and to Europeâs engagement in processes of globalization on the other hand. Increasing migration into Europe constitutes one of the many effects of globalization, and migration into Europe occurs primarily from the east and the south. Migration from the south translates into migration from Muslim majority countries. Adjustment to the European Union, globalization, and migration varies from nation state to nation state in Europe. In order to understand variations in adjustment, in the first part of the course we will study general multicultural lineages of Europeâs nation states. Particular attention will be given to national identity cultures and Europeâs geopolitical self-perception. But we will also pay close attention to the judicial and constitutional specificity of Europe's nation states. Secondly, we will study the formation and enlargement of the European Union and discuss some of the cultural, political, constitutional, judicial, economic and foreign policy issues which have been raised by Europeâs multiculturalization. In the third part of the course, we will study variations in current adjustment to globalization and migration. Here we will engage in themes relevant to the presence of Muslims in Europe, citizenship, immigration law, and the development of new multicultural public spheres and practices. Reading: Eric Hobsbawm:( Nations and Nationalism since 1780); Edward Said (Culture and Imperialism); Michael Heffernan (The Meaning of Europe); Tariq Modood and Pnina Werbner (The Politics of Multiculturalism in the New Europe); Michael Dummett (On Immigration and Refugees); Romano Prodi (Europe as I see it). There will also be a reader available with articles by Perry Anderson, Jurgen Habermas, Renate Holub, etc. For more information, please visit the website of previous classes on Multicultural Europe: http://learning.berkeley.edu/holub (Cross-listed with IAS C145, History C176, and Geography C152.)
