Citizenship and Migration in the Era of Globalization

In an age of globalization there is frequent migration across national borders, resulting in a reconsideration of the notion, practice and social institution of national citizenship. Addressing this phenomenon, the book focuses on the exchange between, and responses, of Korea and Germany.

In particular, the book deals extensively with citizenship in Korea where the concept of citizenship is young, and thus the study of citizenship is relatively scarce. This book may be the first of its kind, bringing together eminent Korean and German scholars to analyse various aspects of citizenship in Korea.

It is hoped that it will contribute to scholarship in the fields of citizenship and migration and to an understanding of the flow of people and ideas between Asia and Europe.

Addresses the problem of changing nature of national citizenship in the context of flow of people between Asia and Europe Helps to understand the flow of people and ideas between Asia and Europe Covers various aspects of citizenship in Korea Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
