PSCI 249 - Refugees and Migrants: The Global Crisis of Immigration4 credits
The increased mobility of people across national borders, whether voluntary or forced, has become a critical issue for many nation states across the globe. The refugee crisis on European borders stemming from the situation in Iraq and Syria symbolized the challenges of dealing with such mobility of populations. Countries in both North America and Europe have seen waves of migrants and refugees over the decades, and immigration has become a volatile political issue in these countries. This course analyzes the ability of nation states to control their borders through specific examples from Europe, United States, and other parts of the globe. The discourse of controlled and selective immigration has been the dominant theme in these countries with strident anti-immigrant voices shaping the policy process. The process of social and political inclusion of refugees and migrants has been shaped by this discourse of controlled immigration. The course draws upon multiple case studies and theoretical perspectives to develop a comprehensive understanding of the global debate on immigration. CLA-Diversity International
