Migration Summer School
IX Migration Summer School: Theories, Methods and Policies
17th-28th June 2013
International migration has become an all-important issue for the world as a whole, and for the European Union and its neighbourhood in particular. People crossing international borders bring with them a baggage of different cultural, social and political experiences, which then they negotiate with the host society. This dynamic, two-way process of integration has, however, impacts on societies of origin as well. This year we ask a crucial question: How is integration negotiated between the sending and receiving countries?
Participants of the IX Migration Summer School on Theories, Methods and Policies will explore the answers to this question. Through this lens they will analyse the interactions of the regions of origin and the regions of destination; migration policies and the regulation of migration; and processes of social cohesion.

Director's Welcome
by Philippe Fargues
