This module will be assessed on the basis of a 3000 word report that has  three chapters that drawn on the topics of at least three different weeks. The case studies should focus on either a particular country and/or its migrants.

The report should contain:
 Factual information on the case study drawn from reports, e.g.
o Patterns of immigration to Greece: what have been the dominant patterns of immigration to Greece since the 1990s?
o Smuggling through Greek borders: what are the main smuggling patterns through Greek borders?
o Migration control policies in Greece: What admission policies has the Greek state adopted to regulate entry? What kind of border and internal controls?

 A discussion/analysis of the factual account which engages with the broader theoretical and empirical context of the case study. For example, based on the above information, a student might want to discuss the following:
o Patterns of immigration to Greece: how do migration patterns to Greece relate to global migration ‘drivers’? To what extent can theoretical frameworks account for migration patterns to Greece?
o Smuggling through Greek borders: How can we explain existing smuggling patterns to Greece? What does research tell us about their social organisation?
o Migration control policies in Greece: To what extent are Greek migration control policies shaped by EU asylum and migration policies? By domestic interests? Do they work? What are their implications for migrants?

[the suggested discussion elements are indicative; you will need to decide the focus of the discussion/analysis based on your reading)
