It has political, economic, and social implications for "departure" and "destinationcountries around the world. In this course the student explores the opportunities and threats posed by migration and how these are forcing attention to national and international policies regulating international migration. The United States can act unilaterally to protect its national interests, but at what point do the migration policies of other countries become the legitimate business of the United States? When should the poverty, civil strife, overpopulation, and environmental degradation that drive citizens from other countries become the concern of the United States? How can the United States intervene in the internal affairs of other countries when sovereignty remains the fundamental element of the international system of states?
