| Aperçu général : | Western European states have been de facto countries of immigration for a long time. Most Member States of the European Union are multiethnic, multiracial and multicultural even though they are sometimes reluctant to accept their diversity. Immigration policy and the management of ethno-cultural diversity have become key issues both nationally and in the process of European Union integration. The course begins with an overview of post-war migration in Western Europe from 1945 to the present days by stressing the main trends, theories and debates on labour migration, on family reunion, on illegal migration, on east-west migration and on the explosion of the asylum crisis. In week 4, we examine immigration policies in Europe and document the gradual move towards a common immigration and asylum policy in the European Union. "Models" of Integration and integration policies in the European states are examined in week 5. Reference is made here to several Member States of the EU. The recognition and representation of Islam in European countries is a good case study to examine how the issues of ethnic, cultural and religious diversity are treated differently in the various European societies (week 6). Crucial to the process of inclusion are nationality and citizenship policies. They are examined in week 7 together with the issue of the emergence of EU citizenship. Before examining ethnic and racial discrimination, segregation and exclusion as policy and political issues, including anti-racism (week 9), it is important to review theoretical and ideological approaches to racism and ethnic conflict in Europe (week 8). Week 10 and week 11 are dedicated to the political participation and representation of immigrant origin population. The case study is the movement of the "undocumented" migrants (sans-papiers) in France and Belgium. The course concludes with a consideration of the future of the European Union as a post-ethnic Europe based on a multicultural citizenship. The sessions will be of two types. One type of session will comprise a presentation by myself followed by a general discussion. In other sessions participants in the course will be asked to launch the discussion segment of the session. The active involvement of all participants will be expected in all sessions. Preparatory reading is essential throughout the course. Presentations and discussion can be hold both in English and French. In addition, the students are required to attend a series of 5 or 6 lectures to be given by international experts between January and April 2002. The programme will be circulated in due course. | |||||

| Objectif du cours : | The course provides a study of some of the main issues related to migration, multiculturalism and racism in the European Union. The main concern is that students are able to theorize the relationship between the strategies of the state and the European Union supranational institutions towards migrant and ethnic minorities groups on the one hand, and the various experiences and responses of these groups, on the other hand. Issues of identity, citizenship, inclusion and exclusion are central to the analysis which is transdisciplinary (political science, sociology, anthropology, law, etc.). | |||||
