Course Description
This course brings together experts from different disciplinary fields to explore migration and integration through the lens of political economy. Given the scope and complexity of the issue at hand, the course offers a range of different approaches, covering both broad and more specific topics and research fields. Among other things, the course adopts an economic-historical perspective on the present-day migration from the Global South to the Global North. It probes the macroeconomics of migration and the debates over migration’s fiscal impact on the welfare state. Other topics concern precarious labour; racialized welfare; the moral economies of migration; EU policy; and alternative migration policies toward social justice. In addition to this, the course offers insights from research that engages with local, national, regional and global policy, as well as perspectives on how migrants navigate such policy.
