On the one hand population change and migratory trends have a distinct impact on contemporary societies. On the other hand they are partially interrelated. The course provides information on major trends including access to and discussion of relevant data as well as an analytical framework that will help participants to understand the dynamics shaping demographic change and international migration. The course will also touch upon concepts of citizenship / belonging and their relevance in the context of international migration and Diaspora formation. Finally, the course will discuss migration policies from a sending and a receiving perspective as well as frameworks of global and regional migration / asylum governance.
