Based on competing conventional normative approaches cosmopolitanism and statism, the course offers an in-depth understanding of the theories of global justice, global democracy, the ethics of global economy, human rights, global governance, and global civil society in which related challenges, ideas and practices are discussed. Correspondingly, a significant space is given to the concepts of membership, citizenship, multiculturalism, and multiple belonging, as they appear as challenging normative and multifaceted approaches and assumptions vis-à-vis global justice and human rights. Moreover, the course demonstrates a set of theoretical and empirical approaches on migration, diaspora, and transnational relations in order to highlight the idea of membership and the concept of international governance and the notion of global justice from a more differentiated perspective.
