Global Governance of Migration and Refugees (815F8)
30 credits, Level 7 (Masters)
Autumn teaching
Why are some people authorised to migrate, while others are not? This module takes a global perspective. It examines how migration and refugee policies vary across world regions and different types of states.
On this module, you’ll get an introduction to the governance of migration and refugees. You’ll consider:
- how states, international organisations and other actors govern people on the move
- how politics – at global, regional, national, and sub-national levels – shapes migration policies and the settlement experiences of migrants.
You’ll learn about theories and concepts used to analyse migration governance. You’ll also study migration and refugee policies.
