| Objectives |
This certificate course introduces its participants to main concepts, theoretical issues and current discussions in the field of migration and asylum. The course aims to present an overview of contemporary migrations and refugee movements in the world while acknowledging the global, regional and national frameworks for its governance. Actors, institutions and regulations will be the main focus of the course in order to understand and analyze their relations and interdependence. We understand migration as a socially complex phenomenon. We will hence cover diverse forms of migration such as regular, irregular and forced movements and the specific reasons why people choose to move. |
