Migration in Today’s World is a one-semester course designed for students with an active interest in migration and asylum issues. The following issues are presented and analyzed in the course of each lecture: theories of international migration; the multifactorial nature of the migration process and the blurring of the boundaries between voluntary and forced displacement (with special reference to environmental migration); the changing profile of the migrant; refugeeism and asylum; the impediments to migrants’ entry into national territory; the consequences of migration for countries of origin, receiving countries and migrants themselves; and ethical dilemmas associated with migration and migration policy. The theoretical considerations are accompanied by examples or larger case studies from different parts of the world.   Short-term mobility will be required in April (the specific dates will be provided by the lecturer at the start of the course). Please, make sure to consult mobility coordinator at your institution to explore potential funding opportunities.
