| Western European states have been de facto countries have been de facto countries of immigration for a long time. Most Member States of the European Union are multiethnic and multicultural even though they are sometimes reluctant to accept their diversity. Immigration policy and the management of ethno-cultural diversity have become key issues both nationally and in particular in the process of European integration.
The course "European Immigration Policy" examines some of the main issues related to migration in the European Union. The main objective is that students are able to theorize the relationship between the strategies of the state and the European Union supranational institutions towards migrant and ethnic minorities groups. Issues of identity, citizenship, inclusion and exclusion are central to the analysis, which is transdisciplinary (political science, sociology, history, anthropology, law, etc.). The course begins with a general introduction. It goes on with an overview of post-war migration in Western Europe from 1945 to present days by stressing the main trends, theories and debates on labour migration, on family reunion, on irregular migration, on East-West migration and on the explosion of the asylum crisis. We follow with some theories of immigration policies. And then we document the gradual move towards a common immigration and asylum policy in the European Union. We will also question the concept of borders focusing on the practices at the Southern edges of the European Union. We will also examine the links between migration in Europe and the global economic crisis. Crucial to the process of inclusion are nationality and citizenship policies. "Models" of integration and integration policies in the European states are also examined and in particular in the European Union. The course concludes with a consideration of the future of the European Union as a post-ethnic Europe and on the challenges for the European immigration policy. |
