International mobility in a globalized world is changing the meaning and concept of citizen-ship. Citizenship was a central bond between the individual and his or her nation, was typically ac-quired by birth, and was the point of reference for a number of mutual rights, obligations and allegiance. Mobility provides opportunities but also challenges for this concept. To analyze this change and its implications, lawyers and eco-nomists from two Max Planck Institutes in con-junction with the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Science and Humanities are organizing the symposium “The Law and Political Economy of Citizenship”.

The event will bring together scholars from various disciplines such as law, political econo-my, and philosophy to present and discuss their work on the topic and exchange their research results and views.
