GOVT152 CM - The Politics of Global Migration, Security and Borders

This course critically engages with the politics of global migration and the intersections with security policy and practice, and the policing and enforcement of borders. It examines linkages between global migration and security (national and human). What are the implications of treating migration as a security issue? We will study how migration is managed, governed and controlled, the insecurities that migrants face in source countries, in their journeys and in their destination countries, and the feelings of insecurity that migration can evoke in those countries. We also analyze how different groups of migrants are perceived and controlled.
