Transnational Migration and Development
Professor Adrian Bailey

INTRODUCTION
“Transnational Migration Development Nexus” is a 7 Credit Unit course with no pre-requisites or co-requisites. The course is led by Adrian Bailey. Educated at the University of Bristol (UK) and Indiana University (USA) and one of the founding partners of the Charles University – Dartmouth College “American Term” Bailey is Emeritus Professor of Geography, Hong Kong Baptist University. This course draws on his team research on transnational migration and migration policy conducted over the past thirty years in Latin and North America, UK, Central Europe, southern Africa, and East Asia.

AIMS & OBJECTIVES
The course rethinks the classical migration development nexus in transnational terms. It offers students entering public policy, the NGO sector, and business with a fresh, critical and constructive perspective that can transcend the zero-sum game politics and economics associated with classical migration development nexus thinking. Course themes differentiate transnational migration from other major types of long-distance migration, including international migration; talent migration; cross-border migration; forced migration, refugee migration and asylum seeking; undocumented migration; diaspora. Key processes and practises that create conditions for and influence the nature of transnational migration development nexus are introduced, and major economic, social, ecological, and political consequences are considered. Extensive use of case-studies emphasises the interdependence of transnational migration and development practices.
