Inhalt | Contemporary debates on migration suggest that is poses a problem for societies as it challenges existing citizenship, identity, and welfare regimes. Migration is also increasingly presented as a threat for national security and a threat for social cohesion. State are developing both bilaterally but also at the regional, supranational and international level mechanisms for migration management, while increasing technologies and practices of border controls are attempting to suppress uncontrolled migration. For instance, the European Union continues to extend its instruments for migration control to Asia and Africa, increasingly thereby linking development aid with migration cooperation. Despite these policies, people continue to migrate, for a variety of reasons. The record high of drowning migrants in the Mediterranean Sea or deaths at the Mexican-US border show the deadly risks involved. This seminar will explore two core themes: why and how is migration regarded as a problem for nation-states and how is the study of migration (in the social sciences) related to these concerns? While these questions will be dealt with theoretical literature on migration, the seminar will also engage with case studies. Here, the focus will be recent migration cooperations of the EU (eg. the “EU-Turkey-Greece- Refugee deal”) and the planned extension of these with African countries based on the program that was passed at the Valetta Summit on Migration. Seminar participants are expected to prepare short case studies about recent EU migration agreements and their potential impact on state-society relations with partnering countries in an effort to illustrate the complex and far reaching politics of migration. |
