s\u2019est impos\u00e9 comme un principe phare guidant les politiques mises en \u0153uvre dans tous les pays de l\u2019Union europ\u00e9enne. Or, dans les espaces transfrontaliers, l\u2019application de ce principe se heurte \u00e0 une s\u00e9rie de d\u00e9fis : d\u2019abord, les diff\u00e9rents pays et r\u00e9gions ne partagent pas la m\u00eame interpr\u00e9tation du d\u00e9veloppement durable. En outre, ils ont des int\u00e9r\u00eats strat\u00e9giques diff\u00e9rents. Ensuite, les habitants des espaces transfrontaliers ont des pratiques et des attentes qui ne sont pas les m\u00eames en la mati\u00e8re, comme en t\u00e9moigne par exemple l\u2019\u00e9cart entre le taux de motorisation tr\u00e8s \u00e9lev\u00e9 au Luxembourg, comparativement aux pays voisins. Enfin, la coop\u00e9ration transfrontali\u00e8re se r\u00e9v\u00e8le bien souvent co\u00fbteuse car n\u00e9cessitant une mise en ad\u00e9quation de syst\u00e8mes d\u2019organisation nationale tr\u00e8s compartiment\u00e9s, la rencontre d\u2019acteurs plus nombreux et divers que dans le cas de coop\u00e9rations men\u00e9es \u00e0 l\u2019int\u00e9rieur d\u2019un pays, les frais \u00e9ventuels de traduction et d\u2019interpr\u00e9tariat, etc. \u2026 ce qui s\u2019oppose paradoxalement au principe d\u2019\u00e9conomie du d\u00e9veloppement durable. En interrogeant le concept de d\u00e9veloppement durable dans les espaces transfrontaliers, le cours donnera diff\u00e9rents \u00e9l\u00e9ments permettant de comprendre le fonctionnement de ces espaces, entre concepts politiques, diff\u00e9rences nationales et contacts interculturels.                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Assessment<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        Commented bibliography on a theme related to cross-border sustainable development (100%).                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Note<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        <p><br><\/p><br><ul><br>Blatter, Joachim , 2000, \u00ab Emerging cross-border regions as a step towards sustainable development?

Built about 70 years ago to secure peace and prosperity on the Western peninsula of the Asian continent, this hybrid \u2013 intergovernmental and supranational \u2013 organisation is a formidable example of how contemporary nation states constantly adapt and reinvent themselves, and thereby, revisit key geographic notions, i.e. region, border, territory, regional development. The EUropean political construction has a significant spatial component.<\/p><p>This course introduces you to the spatial dimension of the EUropean political project. It investigates the EU\u2019s spatialities \u2013 places, regions and territories \u2013 to explore the EU\u2019s importance as a power centre in today\u2019s world. Throughout the class, we examine how social processes at local, regional, national, European, and global level are interconnected and interdependent. For example, we examine how local conditions shape the way citizens relate to the EU project, what values and norms the EU political project endorses and how it positions itself in Europe and in the world.<\/p><p>The class uses flipped pedagogy. Prior to the class, students watch a video online introducing the main concepts and class content. During the seminar, students read a journal article. Students engage with the content by completing exercises in small groups, answering questions and discussing with the whole class.<\/p><p>By discussing some of the most up-to-date academic journal articles published in European studies, Geography and Spatial Planning with their peers and the lecturer, the course is an opportunity for students to both apprehend some of the most complex issues faced by the EU (i.e. rising populist votes, transitioning towards a greener economy) and to critically reflect upon them.<\/p><p>As this course is delivered in the first semester, it not only introduces you to the field of EUropean spatial development but provides also methodological guidelines on how to read a scientific article.<\/p>                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Assessment<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        The breakdown of the grade reflects the multiple types of skills we will work on throughout the semester:<br><ul><br>For MABS students, the class counts 3 ECTS: 100% class participation .<br>For MAGEO, the class counts 5 ECTS: 50% research paper, 50% participation.<br><\/ul><br>Marking criteria are:<br><ul><br>Subject knowledge<br>Capacity to articulate a research question including relevance and specificity to question<br>Use of evidence (e.g. qualitative, quantitative, academic sources)<br>Developing an argument \/ analysis<br>Critical evaluation \/ thinking<br>Structuring<br>Presentation and style<br>Use of language<br><\/ul>                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Note<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        <ul><br>Andy Pike, Vincent B<br>\u00e9al<br>, Nicolas Cauchi-Duval, Rachel Franklin, Nadir<br>Kinossian<br>,<br>Thilo<br>Lang, Tim<br>Leibert<br>, Danny MacKinnon, Max Rousseau, Jeroen Royer, Loris Servillo, John<br>Tomaney<br>Sanne<br>Velthuis<br>(2023): \u2018Left behind places\u2019: a geographical etymology.

The interest on bounding spaces increases with new nationalism on the one hand and European integration and globalization on the other. This course will especially focus on bordering, debordering and rebordering processes and bounding space in different scales as well as their spatial conflicts. National borders can be seen as barriers, filters or open contact spaces for people, trade goods and information. Barriers can be different political, fiscal etc systems or even physical barriers like the frontier between the two parts of Cyprus or the former Berlin wall. Filtering borders can e.g. define who can some inside and who will stay outside which is a form of demarcation (e.g. by visa). One example here is the fortress Europe with the FRONTEX program. Open contact spaces are e.g. illustrated within the Schengen area where cross-border cooperation is strengthened and cross-border contacts are possible on a daily basis (e.g. with shopping, working or meeting friends\u2019 activities). Borders can also change their function and character becoming more open or close. From a national perspective border regions are often peripheries, but by overcoming the national peripheral deficits new cross-border regions (debordering\/flexible geometries\/soft spaces) can develop.

offers background knowledge as well as fundamental concepts of and approaches to the field of cultural Border Studies. Enabling a deeper understanding of border regions and contact zones from a socio-cultural perspective, this class addresses the main categories of analysis: e.g. space, identities, representation, and language. Where spatial Border Studies focus on the territorial, nation-state structure of the world, Cultural Border Studies turns especially to the (re-)production processes, the symbolic dimension of borders, the representations at both the individual and collective level, and their (im-) material manifestations. This introductory course to Border Studies from cultural studies perspective focuses on central concepts and approaches of the cross-disciplinary work through a series of key texts which have marked the fields of Border Studies and Cultural Studies.<\/p>                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Assessment<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        <p><\/p><br><ul><br>20% active participation\/group work<br>30% oral presentation<br>50% cumulative term paper<br><\/ul><br>The reading seminar is based on the reading, reflection and discussion of basic texts (German, English, French) in the field of Cultural Border Studies.

               <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        Traditionally, languages were considered as markers of social, cultural, and geographical boundaries and limits between different communities. Our approach, however, emphasizes the potential of language as a means of border-crossing and a resource for transnational communication.Using the Greater Region of SaarLorLux and other border areas as case studies, we will examine various forms of individual, societal, institutional, and territorial multilingualism. Building on the prior knowledge and interests of the participants, and drawing on key research literature (from sociolinguistics, language contact studies, language acquisition, language education, and language policy), we will explore how linguistic practices, language ideologies, and language policies shape social dynamics in border regions. Core thematic areas include language biographies, linguistic landscapes, language hierarchies, educational systems, as well as postcolonial and anti-discriminatory approaches. The aim is to engage in a critically reflective examination of language(s) and multilingualism as socially embedded and politically charged practices \u2013 navigating the complex interplay of inclusion, mobility, social cohesion, and educational equity.                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Assessment<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        Active participation (20%) and interactive oral presentations\u00a0(80%)\u00a0                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Note<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        <p>\u00a0<\/p><br>\u00a0<br>Literature (selection)<br>:<br><ul><br>Auer, Peter (2010):<br>Sprachliche<br>Landschaften<br>.

Drawing from a number of rich disciplinary traditions coming from geography, sociology, psychology political science, law, etc. migration studies address a variety of topic concerning the movement of people and the diversity resulting from this movement.<br>The course will offer an introduction to this field of studies and the main concepts, theories and themes relevant for the understanding and study of migration. Additionally, the course will encourage students to critically reflect on and engage with the main notions, categories and terms commonly used in political and public discourses when discussing the movement of people, problematizing their meaning and uses.<p>\u00a0<\/p>                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Assessment<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        <p>\u00a0<\/p><br>Final exam during exam session<br>Active participation in class and critical engagement with the readings<br>\u00a0<br>&#8211; 20 percent active participation<br>&#8211; 30 percent oral presentation during the semester<br>&#8211;\u00a050 percent essay at the end of the semester<br>\u00a0                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Note<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        (non-exhaustive list)<br>&#8211; Scholten, P.

Its aim is to think critically and rigorously about the link between language and power within the framework of \u2018modern colonialism\u2019 (15th-20th century), with particular emphasis on its continuing repercussions. In other words, we will delve into a historical sociolinguistic approach that traces the effects of modern colonialism on current language dynamics. As a means of illustration, creole languages, along with nonstandard varieties of different languages, are taken as prime examples of languages mostly born out of colonial rule. By discussing these language varieties, not only will we attempt to show the relationship between language and power, but also discover different views on language and colonialism that attempt to go beyond the \u2018eurocentric\u2019 narrative. We will therefore be looking at language contact and mixing through the histories of nonstandard varieties, which requires going beyond a narrow understanding of language, power, and colonialism.<br>                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Assessment<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        <ul><br><li>Class participation <\/li><br><li>In-person mid-term exam <\/li><br><li>In-person final exam <\/li><br><\/ul>                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Note<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        <p>\u00a0<\/p><br><p>Bibliography:<\/p><br><p>Readings will be uploaded on Moodle.

<div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        <p>We live in a highly complex world. The climate emergency, the multiple crises (health, energy, etc.), the conflicts between countries, forced migration, and the decline of multilateralism hinder the path towards the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This situation not only makes us aware of our interdependence on a global scale and of the indispensable solidarity, but also of our responsibility at all levels: individual and collective, private and public. It is urgent to act together to find solutions for forms of cohabitation and collaboration that are more respectful of our environment, of our spaces and species, and of our bodies and minds (Mbembe, 2022). In other words, we need to co-construct global cultures that facilitate individual and collective responsibility.<\/p><p>This course focuses on the communication and management practices and challenges in international work settings where individuals and teams face social, cultural and linguistic diversity. What kind of interaction strategies do managers and employees develop and apply to make their collaboration and their projects work in those highly complex contexts?<\/p>On the one hand, the participants will be invited to think about their own cultural background, identity and communication behaviour. On the other hand, they will be introduced to the concepts of \u201cintercultural management\u201d and \u201cresponsible global management\u201d from theoretical and from practical viewpoints to reflect on forms of international collaboration for a more sustainable future.<p>The course aims at stimulating the development of responsible global management competences of (future) actors on the international stage.<\/p>                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Assessment<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        Written assignment or oral presentation (in groups).                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Note<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        <p><br>Selected Bibliography<br><br><br><\/p><br><ul><br><p> Barmeyer Ch.
