Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
International migration is one of the most important issues in global politics. This seminar examines how states, regional organisations (such as the European Union) and institutions at international level (such as the United Nations) respond to the challenges of international migration. A major focus throughout the seminar will be a comparative focus on Austria, looking at similarities and differences in migration politics to other countries and world regions. The module encourages students to assess leading conceptual and theoretical interpretations of the relationship between international migration, the state system and ideas such as sovereignty, rights and protection. These have all become global issues because they are at the intersection of politics at state and international level. The module considers responses to international migration in its various forms in terms of often competing modes of understanding or 'framing' of international migration, i.e., as a security concern, as a human rights issue or as a matter of economic development. It also explores prospects for the ‘global governance’ of international migration. The module begins with a general introduction to our understandings of international migration and reviews the literature on various types of international migration. The module then examines responses and interpretations of the phenomenon of migration by key governance actors in Europe, North America, and Asia Pacific. The module concludes by thinking about key issues in the future development of migration, such as the effects of climate change.

-Demonstrate independent and critical understanding of the most important aspects of political responses to and perception about global migration, and in patricular to detect similarities and differences for the Austrian case
-Fully identify the differences between forms and types of migration and the responses that develop at national, regional and international level
-Show awareness of the relationship between theory and practice in relation to the politics of global migration
-Demonstrate understanding of varying responses to state, regional and international level to global migration, and have an in-depth knowledge of the Austrian case
-Fully identify the strengths and weaknesses of different theoretical approaches to the study of the politics of global migration and to assess critically the competing claims that are made regarding the impact of international migration
-Demonstrate appropriate cognitive, communicative and transferable skills, including understanding complex concepts and theories, exercising critical judgement, problem-solving skills; making effective oral and written presentations, utilising specialist primary and secondary sources, and deepening the capacity for independent learning
