Course Title:
Refugee and Family Migration Law
Course Number:
R_STMRL
Course Description:
This course deals with family reunification and refugee law in the light of international and regional legal regimes as well as selected national policies and case-law. We will pay attention to African, American, Asian and European national and regional systems. However, given the
geographic location of this course, and as the EU is a supranational system with a lot of legislation on migration, there will be an emphasis on Europe. The course explains the multi-layered structure of family reunification and refugee law, maps the international, regional and national actors involved and traces the horizontal, vertical, and diagonal relationships between them. Furthermore, the course analyses and critically discusses the tension between state sovereignty and individual interests and human rights. Finally, the interplay between migration flows, perceived effects on society, migration law and the dynamics of policy change in these areas are examined.
