The course main challenges of comprehensive policy response to current global migration processes. The students will be taught to critically assess the role of international bodies, national states and state structures in shaping and managing different types of migration. We will discuss ethical, legal and sociological aspects of migration related public policies and governance from the international to the local level. The course will address the concrete examples in which those questions are posed in current policy agendas. The course will train students to analyse migration policies in comparative and country based perspective. Another focus is on the types of migrants (such as economic migrants, family members, refugees and asylum seekers, undocumented migrants, etc.) and their participation in European societies. In some lectures, the course focuses on the migration experience viewed through the perspective of migrants themselves. The course is designed to engage students in critical dialogue concerning various topics related to migration and migrant integration topics. In order to do this, the course will combine both lecture and seminar formats. The above-mentioned issues will be explored in weekly lectures and readings. Learning objectives of the course include: (a) a solid understanding of major debates in the study of migration and (b) the major issues addressed in migrant integration studies, (c) understanding and interpreting migration data and key concepts and (d) understanding theories of migration and integration processes.
