	MRS 500 - Migration & Refugee Movements in the Middle East and North Africa Description 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. (3 cr.)
	MRS 501 - International Migration & Development Description 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. (3 cr.)
	MRS 502 - Comparative Migration Policies Description Countries at both ends of the migration process develop migration policies that govern a variety of issue areas. In countries of destination, migrants essentially contribute to economic activity. Therefore, their policies address issues such as demand for migrant workers, admission criteria, recognition of skills, non-discrimination and integration of migrant workers and their families, curbing irregular migration, border control and patrolling sea lanes, the role of business and trade union and international cooperation. Countries of origin are mainly concerned with releasing pressures over their labor markets, the protection of migrants, their welfare, maximizing the contributions of migrants to development through financial remittances and their productive use, effective return migration policies, migration statistics, and international cooperation. The course will examine how a selected number of countries of origin and destination formulated and implemented policies in the respective areas of concern to the two sets of countries. (3 cr.)
	MRS 503 - Migrants & Refugees in the International System Description The course attends to the consequence for the nation state and for the international system of migration and refugee movement. The course focuses on historical and contemporary population movements. By connecting historical and contemporary population movements to, among others, colonization, globalization, nationalism, citizenship, human rights and minority politics, the course interrogates the relationship between migrants, refugees, the nation-state, and the international system.

This course examines the different ways in which international law engaged with migration through, amongst other things, general principles of international law, human rights and labor law, international criminal law, the laws of armed conflict, as well as trade and environmental law. Cross-listed Same as LAW 528. (3 cr.)
