Introduction

This course aims to address issues that have been the subject of new research for several years (in political science, international relations, sociology, economics or history) and have become one of the major challenges of the contemporary world. Based on these, this course questions the definitions of migrations and diasporas, embraces their multiple stakes (at regional, national and international levels); it deals with the new categories of migrants (women, unaccompanied minors, etc.), exiles and displaced persons and with their political and administrative status in the host country and, finally, it tackles the reconfiguration of migratory movements (which now also affect regions previously little concerned by this phenomenon).

Objectives

- gain a better understanding of migration and diaspora issues, with a critical distance and a multidisciplinary outlook
- grasp, in a complex way, the notions and concepts of “displacement”, “border”, “migration”, “exile” and “diaspora”
- combine documents from different sources and disciplines into perspective
- provide students with the tools they need to understand better contemporary world issues
- prepare students to enter Master programs (including dissertation writing)
