Migration and Labour  (Extended deadline until March 5)
March 10-April 11, on-campus week: March 24-28, 2014
Course Directors: Professor Charles Woolfson, REMESO; Associate Professors Branka Likic-Brboric, REMESO and Zoran Slavnic, REMESO. Guest Lecturers: Professor Judy Fudge, Kent Law School and Professor Carl-Ulrik Schierup, REMESO
This course looks at the barriers to decent work and protected labour standards in the global and European economy. It asks how policy-makers and labour market actors have responded to the challenges posed by migrant workers in securing labour rights in the increasingly insecure world of work. Empirically it examines the wider political economy of neo-liberalism, especially in the context of post-communist societies and EU enlargement. Both internal EU mobility and migration from outside the EU are examined.
At a theoretical level we discuss unfree labour, circular migration, 'informalisation' and precarious work in a global economy and its impact on industrial citizenship. Strategies by labour market actors such as trade unions, labour inspectorates and supra-national governance bodies such as the ILO are explored.
Deadline for applications: 5 March 2014

Globalization, Migration and Development
April 21-May 23, on-campus week: May 5-9, 2014
Course Directors: Associate Professors Branka Likic-Brboric, Anders Neergaard, REMESO and Professor Carl-Ulrik Schierup, REMESO. Guest Lecturers: Professor Raul Delgado Wise, Zacatecas University, Mexico; Senior Lecturer Aina Tollefsen, Umeå University; Associate Professor Peo Hansen, REMESO. Liepollo Lebohang Pheko from theTrade Collective in South Africa, is invited to give perspectives from global civil society and migrant advocacy work.
The course addresses both scientific and policy debates concerning the relation between migration, development and human rights. These are all issues that have risen to the top of the global governance agenda as reflected in current initiatives, such as UN High Level Dialogue and Global Forum on Migration and Development (GFMD).
The students will explore theoretical issues of migration and development, as well as empirical work in the field. This entails theories of governance, the political economy of migration and development, spatial dimensions of global and regional production chains.
The course accounts for both the East-West and North-South dimensions of migration and development, and it pays particular attention to the EU's impact on developments in relation to Northern Africa and Eastern Europe. The North American Free Trade Agreement and the Southern African Development Community provide comparative cases of regional integration, with a focus on migration from Mexico to the United States and across Africa.
Deadline for applications: 4 April, 2014
