Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Migration is a topic of increasing relevance in today’s world of globalization. Every year, a great number of people leave their homes to escape oppression, poverty or environmental catastrophes. There are also others that seek to enhance their life opportunities by moving to more affluent countries. States, in response, employ policies towards controlling and exploiting migrations patterns. At the heart of the issue rests a series of ethical questions, which we will discuss in this course. Is there a human right to migrate? Do states have a right to exclude newcomers? Do migrants have a right to resist immigration policies? Are there special obligations for compatriots? What constitutes membership? Are refugees special?
