| AIM OF THE COURSE |
Upon completion of the course, the student should be able to:
- summarise important ethical theories of relevance for migration,
- discuss and analyse, orally and in written form, ethical problems that may arise in relation to migration,
- employ ethical theory in an analysis of a concrete migration issue,
- criticise ethical analyses in a constructive manner. |
| CONTENTS |
Ethics of migration comprises normative issues related to the different phases of migration and categories of migrants. Reasons for and modes of migration vary, as do the impact of migration on receiving, transit and sending countries.
In a first, theoretical part, this course examines fundamental ethical questions related to migrants (regular and irregular) and migration, borders and border control. Arguments for and against immigration restriction as well as rights and duties between nation states and migrants are systematically analysed.
In a second, more applied part, ethical implications of migration flow such as brain drain will be investigated. Prevailing migration management e.g. large-scale surveillance-based migration control will also be critically examined from the perspective of ethics. |
