According to many European politicians Australia’s migration system is seen as a role model in successfully managing migration and thus worth emulating. This course sheds light on a number of crucial developments in Australia’s migration and asylum policies and their polit-ical impacts on the wider region as well the norm development in other parts of the Global North. While considering historical developments that are specific to Australia (e.g. White Australia Policy) we will embed our discussions in the wider debates on forced migration, sovereignty, nationalism, securitisation/militarisation and the externalisation of border con-trol, deterrence measures, humanitarianism and rights-based approaches to refugee pro-tection. By studying political key events in Australia (e.g. Tampa Affair, Pacific Solution I and II) through an interdisciplinary lens, students will undertake a thorough critique of the theo-ry and practice of migration governance across these areas that will create the foundation for comparative approaches in the future.
