GOVT 40.20 Immigration Politics

This course examines how countries in Europe and North America are responding to (and being transformed by) international migration.  In the first half, we will focus on the determinants of migration, as well as governments’ attempts to manage and control population flows. In the second half, we will examine the increasingly contentious politics surrounding immigrant settlement, and will investigate the consequences of policies that seek to promote the exclusion or inclusion of immigrants after arrival.
