UCEAP Quarter Units

Course Description
This course starts with two fundamental questions in socio-legal studies. How do laws and legal institutions affect society and social behavior? And conversely, how does society affect the production of laws and the functioning of legal institutions? Socio-legal scholarship has used different perspectives in answering these questions, including a cultural perspective. The course focuses on that perspective, and zooms in on a quite topical issue: the increasingly multicultural or ethnically diverse nature of society. It explores how that characteristic influences the emergence and functioning of laws and legal institutions. It also examines how different ethnic or religious groups, often confronted with a situation of legal pluralism, deal with laws and legal institutions. The course considers if law should merely reflect a society, or whether it also has a function to change society in a certain direction. If law does not reflect the whole of society, what implications does this have for minority groups? These questions are relevant to societies both in the Global North and the Global South. Accordingly, the course draws on and discusses cases from both regions.

Course Description
Citizenship is a fascinating yet contested idea: on the one hand, it has developed as a mechanism of polity formation and integration, empowering and legitimizing the nation-state as privileged form of political organization. On the other hand, it has worked, and it is still working, as mechanism of exclusion and control over increasingly mobile and mixed populations. Citizenship is a formal status (derived from nationality), but also a set of in/formal practices that coordinate and accommodate our social life. What are the basis of this apparent paradoxes between inclusion and exclusion, formal status and informal practices? As members of any nation-state we expect to be recognized as citizens; yet this membership entails various collateral forms of exclusion, in a world increasingly segmented despite its obvious globalization and interdependence. This course examines the paradoxes of citizenship through various lenses, both in terms of the inclusion/exclusion dynamics it triggers, as well as the (dis)connection existing between the formal status citizenship implies and the necessary practices it requires of us to live in society.
