About the course
Aim
After completing the course, students should at an advanced level be able to:
- identify, describe and discuss different theories of internationalization, the world system and globalization, including central concepts as colonialism, imperialism and modernisation;
- analyse the within the course presented research traditions around globalization and international migration,
- critically evaluate and question the link between migration and development,
- evaluate and analyse migration governance regimes and policy outcomes at national, regional and global levels.
Content
The course introduces students to some of the major theoretical contributions in linking globalization and international migration in a critical and historical perspective. The course offers an integrated political economy approach to international migration, its forms, causes and consequences. Students will familiarize themselves with the world system and north-south relations beyond nationalism, ethnocentrism and orientalism.
Various theories are presented and discussed, advancing a critical understanding of the nexus between development and migration. The role of international actors and the states is discussed and analysed in relation policies aiming at solving problems caused by inequalities globally and locally, via aid/cooperation, migration, development and redistributive social policies.
