Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the lecture is to familiarize students with the process of international migration in detail. To understand its nature, causes and consequences. The developmental aspect of assessment is emphasized. The global view is supplemented by an analysis of continents and selected countries - with special attention to the Czech Republic (apart from a separate block, a short discussion of relevant aspects of international migration in the Czech Republic is part of many other blocks).
After successfully completing the course, the student will be able to define the concept of migration and its content, will be familiar with the basic terminology associated with international migration, will be able to interpret approaches to the study of migration and migration policy, and will have sufficient awareness of the basic and current types of migration, including how they are affected by advancing transnationalization and globalization. In addition, the student will be able to define terms related to the integration of immigrants and interpret the results of this process and individual integration policies. Furthermore, the student is able to evaluate and critically interpret the migration situation in the global and Central European context and can understand it in the current context.
