POLI 346 - Immigration Policy and Politics(3 credits)
Prerequisite: POLI 172
This course examines how nations across the world have responded to growing international migration. Students discuss the central questions raised by immigration scholars and learn the background on how political science has approached the question of immigration policy and politics. Students review theories of immigration policy and politics and discuss what it means to decide if a policy is “working” or not. After examining these issues, students examine case studies of individual nations. Finally, the course will move to examine key issues in the field such as immigration control, asylum, citizenship and the politics of restriction, using the previously covered theories and cases to deepen students’ understanding of these topics. Offered alternate years.
