Topics in Development: Citizenship, Borders and In/Exclusion

This course asks: What are the political, ethical, and historical bases for making these decisions about citizenship, borders, and in/exclusion? These questions are particularly salient in the context of globalization, migration and refugee flows, war and ethnic conflict, poverty, and now climate change. This course strikes a balance between analyzing theory, empirics, and policy debates- especially in light of contemporary issues facing the 21st century.
