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: 14 April, 2014
