Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

How does the uncertainty surrounding current and future migration flows impact the politics and policies of the European Union? This course examines the role and competencies of the European Union in the realm of migration and mobility. It focuses on the main actors, processes and implications of policies aimed at governing human migration and allows an understanding the challenges that international migration - and the uncertainty related to this human phenomenon - has raised for the European integration process itself. Students will be able to conduct case-study analysis, allowing them to apply the acquired analytical skills.
