Teaching method
Theoretical exposés and practical exercise. Sessions based on theoretical exposés are traditional in-class teaching. Students are invited to react and participate in these sessions. The remaining sessions are conceived as practical exercise of discussion of: the content of theoretical exposés, selected bibliography, the final essay or research project, and/or presentations made by guests invited to discuss specific topics with students.
Evaluation method
Evaluation includes: in-class participation of students; oral presentation and discussion of the final essay; the final version of the essay, which must include selected bibliography and sources.
Subject matter
1. Globalization, migration and development: theories and basic concepts 2. From supra-national guidelines to local practice: international agendas, regional strategies, public policy 3.
