Learning outcomes
|
The aim of this course is to give a detailed description and explanation of the process of international migration as well as to understand its complexity, causes and consequences. Special attention is paid to the development of the process over the time. The global approach is then extended by analyses of migration within individual continents and within selected countries. The situation in Czech Republic is presented both individually and in many other thematic blocks as a kind of case study.
After successfully completing the course, the student will be able to define the term of migration itself as well as its content, he will acquire basic terminology associated with international migrations, he will be able to interpret the approaches to migration and migration policy, and he will have sufficient knowledge of basic and current types of migration, including their current influences by transnationalization and globalization. In addition, the student will be able to define terms related to the integration of immigrants and to interpret also the results of this process and as well as the results of various integration policies. The student is also able to evaluate and critically interpret the migration situation on global level - and particularly in Central European context -, and can understand it in the current context.
