CAR616 Displacement and Conflict

[3–0, 3 cr.]

This course explores how displacement can create social, economic, environmental and political problems which can lead to conflict among culturally and socioeconomically different groups.  Each of these categories of problems and their impact on refugee population and host communities will be explored separately and in connection to others. In addition, this course differentiates between the short-term and the long-term impacts of migration, and offers, based on good-practices, ways to address the consequences of such migration. It also offers students the necessary tools and methods to analyze and resolve migration related conflicts. It explains the role of state and non-state actors in dealing with this type of human suffering and conflict at the local, regional, and global level. Furthermore, international laws and regulations pertaining to migration are also examined through illustrative case studies.
