Institution:

Johns Hopkins University

Subject:

Description:

Why do states seek to control migration? How does state sovereignty affect migration policy? This class will look at why and how migration becomes a central political issue in liberal democracies by reading literature from political science, sociology, anthropology and history as well as viewing films. At the end of the course, we will briefly compare and debate two cases of border and migration policy: the British/French border and the US/Mexico border. Students will be able to understand the theoretical foundations of migration policy to help them analyze current debates.
