Kommentar/Beschreibung

The seminar “Democratic Development of Migration and Mobility”is inspired and based on the EU Peace forerunner seminars “Migration and Health in the European Union and Turkey,” which we (Prof. Ilgit from Cukurova U. and Prof. Sascha Krannich) did in the summer semester 2025. This seminar should deepen the insights of the forerunner project and enlarge the geographical scope of migration and democratic development above Germany and Turkey, and include developments in Italy and Spain as well. While we investigated the nexus of migration and health in the first seminar, this seminar focuses particularly on the interrelations of migration and democratic development by addressing the question of how migrants in European countries affect democratic developments in their countries of residence as well as of origin. In a comparative perspective, we explore how democratic development interacts with cross-border mobility, civic participation, and public discourse. Through conceptual and comparative discussions, the course examines how migrants, diasporas, and the broader public engage in re-defining democratic values and practices across Europe and its neighbourhood. For instance, we take a look at discourses about refugees in Germany, which resulted in the so-called “Stadtbild” debate, and in Italy and Spain about the negotiation processes and enforcements of asylum policies. The seminar should improve knowledge about issues of peace, migration, and democracy, and contribute to a better understanding of European migration and integration policies, and enlarge intercultural competences and English skills of students and future teachers (particularly regarding terminologies, categories, and concepts of peace and democracy).
