DAFF 25A88 - The governance of migration: a multiscalar perspective

This course will introduce the contemporary and emerging stakes posed by the governance system of human migration at the local, national and international levels. In dialogue with case studies and comparative research, students will learn about how European states seek to control immigration inflows. The externalisation and internalisation of migration control have transformed the geography of public intervention, opening new fields for political interventions for a range of multiscalar actors : civil society organisations, municipalities, diaspora groups, international organisations, etc. The course will provide students with a theoretical toolbox to understand the dynamics at stake and knowledge on the ways new categories of actors interfere with the management of migrations.

Students will have to discuss in class a series of texts suggested by the teacher and deliver a final essay under the form of a policy brief addressing a key aspect of the geopolitics of migrations (theme to be discussed with the teacher).
