Contenus de l'unité d'enseignement
Western European states have been de facto countries have been de facto countries of immigration for a long time. Most Member States of the European Union are multiethnic and multicultural even though they are sometimes reluctant to accept their diversity. Immigration policy and the management of ethno-cultural diversity have become key issues both nationally and in particular in the process of European integration. The course "European Immigration Policy" examines some of the main issues related to migration in the European Union.
The main objective is to provide students a critical overview of the development of a European immigration policy (historical background, main actors and institutions, EU policy-making, main debates, challenges and instruments).
The course will consist in a series of interactive sessions including, among others, a general theoretical introduction, an overview of migration in Western Europe, theoretical aspects of immigration policies, the development of a common migration policy, the external dimension of EU migration policy, etc.
