dc.description.course | Global migration is arguably the most pressing political issue of our time. This course explores the drivers, dimensions, and consequences of global mobility with a focus on current migrant and refugee crises. Why do people move across borders? Where are global migration flows occurring today and how is global climate change accelerating them? What is the difference between migrants and refugees? How is migration affecting politics in both sending and receiving countries? The course also discusses the political, ethical, and moral challenges of migration governance. |
