This project addresses international migration as one of the most pressing and formative issues which shape both European integration, and the relationships of Europe with the rest of the world. It covers the economic, social, political and policy aspects of international migration in the both changing EU and global contexts. It is an original and innovative course which addresses how international migrations has shaped EU integration, and also the EU’s relationships with the rest of the world. It has particular resonance for students in New Zealand, a country whose society has substantially been shaped by migration to and from Europe. The course also addresses issues which have been at the core of EU integration: freedom of movement, the role of skilled migration in achieving the Lisbon Agenda competitiveness goals, the shaping of common policies on asylum seeking, the tensions generated by internal migration after the eastern enlargement, and the fundamental challenge posed by the 2015+ refugee crisis to some of the core values This proposed Jean Monnet module covers a suite of 3 courses centred on the primary module, EURA223, The EU, Globalization, and Migration:1.
