Kommentar
Latin America´s rich and diverse migration history offers an ideal scenario to explore the complex relationships between human mobility and development, with important lessons for current migration debates. In this seminar, we examine the historical and contemporary patterns of migration and displacement within, towards, and from Latin America, highlighting their interplay with socioeconomic, political, and cultural development processes, and studying migration both as a result and driver of different dimensions of development. After an empirical overview of migration trends in the region, the course introduces key theoretical approaches to the migration-development nexus. Students will engage critically with a range of case studies, including intra-regional (forced) migrations, outward emigration from Latin America, as well as forced returns. By combining empirical data with conceptual frameworks, the seminar provides a comprehensive understanding of how migration shapes—and is shaped by— the social, political and economic development in Latin America and beyond.
