Worldwide international migration is a large and growing phenomenon,
with more than 200 million people now living outside of their home
countries for extended periods. Understanding the complex dynamics
behind international migration is essential to improved policies and
programs to address the multiple causes and consequences of these
movements of people. This course provides an overview of international
migration numbers and trends, causes of population movements, the impact
of international migration on source and receiving countries, and policy
responses to population movements. The course also provides an
introduction to the major theories underpinning the study of
international migration, including the new economics of labor migration,
dual labour market theory, world systems theory, cumulative causation,
and migration networks theory. The course will also briefly examine the
international legal regime regarding migration.
