Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

The course is organized thematically, discussing various migratory flows and their consequences through examples from various contexts in Asia, thus providing a comparative angle. Examples from different societies within East- and Southeast Asia will be used, with special emphasis on Singapore, the Philippines, Japan, and South-Korea.
