About the Academy
This academy addresses migration as complex and multifaceted phenomenon from a wide range of legal, political, anthropological, social, and economic perspectives and approaches, imparting a sense of the overwhelming, but underrated magnitude of change and challenge which comes along with the migration crisis. Among the major topics taught and discussed are
- causes and drivers of migration;
- impacts of migration on regional and national politics, societal developments and economy;
- migration governance (global, regional and national level);
- migration and development;
- integration of migrants in societies and labor markets;
- citizenship and integration;
- asylum and refugee protection; and
- conceptual challenges posed by migration for basic values under conditions of scarce resources.
