Abstract: This graduate course is in three Parts. Together they are intended to provide theoretical, empirical, and policy perspectives on source and consequences of globalization, focusing on emergent structures and processes, and on the implications of flows of goods and services across national boundaries - with special attention to the issue of migration, on the assumption that people matter and matter a lot. An important concern addressed pertains to the dilemmas of international policies that are shaped by the macro-level consequences of micro-level behavior.

My own personal knowledge
- What knowledge and skills do you need?
The course notes/readings provides a useful overview of the international relations literature through the lens of the global movement of people (e.g. migration).
- Is the material appropriate?
One nice feature of this course is the synthesis of "traditional" views of globalization (which looks at the economic and policy issues related to increased economic integration) with international relations views (which looks at the international structures and processes related to the movement of people).
Globalization; Migration; International Relations.
