Christian Joppke

Christian Joppke is a sociology professor at the University of Bern, known for his research on citizenship, immigration, and the social implications of law. His work has critically examined how citizenship is increasingly framed as a privilege linked to individual behavior, particularly in the context of rising far-right politics across Europe. Joppke argues that recent proposals to revoke citizenship for serious crimes signify a troubling shift towards creating a two-tiered system of citizenship, reflecting broader societal anxieties and the political landscape.
