MRS 500 - Migration & Refugee Movements in the Middle East and North Africa
The course offers a systematic review of international migration and refugee movements to, through and from, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) over the last decades. It addresses their trends, causes and consequences for individuals and societies, and stresses the universality of international mobility determinants, but the specificity of the context in which they operate in the MENA, combining insecurity engendered by wars and civil conflicts with acute international inequalities of economic, social and political opportunities.
The course starts with concepts and theories, then addresses the various facets of cross-border mobility in the MENA: voluntary and forced migration; migration and labor markets; financial transfers (remittances and investment) and migration; the mobility of skills and the brain drain / brain gain nexus; transnational communities, diasporas and their countries of origin; families and communities left behind; MENA states’ policies on emigration; integration of migrant and refugee communities; EU and Gulf states’ policies on asylum and immigration; transit migration; trafficking in migrants; return migration.
When Offered
Offered in fall.

MRS 501 - International Migration & Development
The course provides an overview of recent literature and debates concerned with the relationships between migration and development. Migration and development are related issues. On the one hand, development is a determinant of migration. International differentials in development, mainly economic (labor-, income- and capital-related), but also political (state- and society-related), will be reviewed. These elements apply at the sending end as push factors (underemployment and unemployment; poverty; poor access to welfare; low rewards to skills; poor governance, political or civil instability, etc.) and at the receiving end as pull factors (jobs availability; higher incomes; social security; higher education; networks of previous migrants; etc.). On the other hand, migration has an impact on development. International mobility of workers and their family members can work for, or against, development. Debates on the impact of development include the following:
Destination Countries:
Considering whether migrant workers compete with or complement local labor? Do they reduce or increase average incomes/wages? Contribute to or drain host country welfare services?
Origin Countries:
While migrant remittances provide for better housing, education and health of families left behind, their impact on the local and national economy is much debated. Do they boost production or imports? Do they create employment or deter entry into the local labour market? Do they lead to sustainable patterns of development? Do they further the access to credit of local communities and migrants themselves? To what extent do migrants establish businesses as a result of their earnings abroad? To what extent do governments foster development along with migrant communities and host countries with migration-induced development through confidence building, infrastructure and skills training? Under what conditions does migration of skills result in a brain drain or a brain gain for sending countries? In both sending and receiving countries, different patterns of migration: circular, return, temporary, permanent, regular/irregular may have different impacts on development.

MRS 502 - Comparative Migration Law
Control over migration and naturalization remain among the strongest arenas of state discretion, touching on political sensitivities such as security, national identity/demographic change, human rights and economics. While some specialized bodies of law touch on migration issues, for instance in extradition, refugee protection, repatriation and statelessness, international migration law in a sense does not exist as a coherent field. De jure discrimination by race and nationality remains normal in the field of immigration, even as it is expressly prohibited by human rights law in nearly all other arenas. As a result of this vast state discretion, immigration policies vary widely from country to country. International organizations are trying to construct common principles and rules applicable to migrants and members of their families. However, these conventions are more supported by migrant sending- than receiving- countries. On the sending side, different countries have developed different approaches toward expatriates, ranging from taxation, dual nationality, and the right to leave. This course will not aim to cover the immigration law of any particular country. Instead, the aim of this course will be to examine this emerging field of law thematically, examining common problems and responses. Students will come away with an understanding of the issues and dilemmas that would need to be tackled to develop a complete migration policy, either for one country or for the world.

MRS 503 - Migration & Refugees in International Relations
Until recently, international migration was considered a matter of sovereignty for receiving states, whose laws and policies dominated migration. Once sending states began to take an interest in their expatriates abroad, migration became a matter of international relations. Bilateral, regional and multilateral frameworks have been established to regulate cross-border mobility and the situation of migrants. Because migration is not regarded in the same way as sending and receiving countries, and can be a mater of conflict, migration issues now emerge as a topic for bargaining at the negotiating table on many issues not directly related to migration, such as for example on the free trade negotiations of the Euro-Mediterranean partnership. Security and terrorism increasingly involve monitoring not only cross border mobility and residence but also financial transactions and communications.
