BEIRENS H. - Managing Migration in Europe: Taking Stock of the Legal Tools, best Practices and practical Challenges in the Field of Migration and Asylum
Professor Hanne BEIRENS
Academic assistant: Paula ÁLVAREZ VIDAL
The aim of this course is to stimulate the buildup of this knowledge base via thematic lectures, which will weave in present policy discussions (e.g. revisions to the EU legislative framework on return) and developments on the terrain (e.g. internal border controls within the Schengen area to reduce onward movement of migrants). The course structure (see Section Course Content) is built up around the key moving pieces in the EU migration sphere.
The course is also geared towards exercising the students’ muscle for critical thinking and solid research and analysis. This is essential given the speed at which new policy proposals are made at national or EU level, and the degree to which these proposals at times seemingly ignore the evidence base, legislative frameworks and proven recipes of practical cooperation and partnerships
