Policy issues are becoming more complex, and policymaking has become a structured interaction between networked actors, with national governments and international organisations playing central roles in human development. More than ever, there is a clear need for specialists in policy analysis who can work in international and multi-level policy processes, taking on duties in the analysis of policy problems and the implementation and evaluation of solutions. In order to perform well in this domain, actors require a combination of theoretical background knowledge, technical skills and the opportunity to practise them, as well as a solid understanding of key policy fields.The Master of Science in Public Policy and Human Development programme is a double-degree programme of Maastricht University’s Graduate School of Governance and University Nations University’s institute UNU-MERIT.

Many different forms of migration exist and human mobility shapes global health, impacting on domestic and foreign policies of sending, transition and receiving countries. The health of migrants is influenced by these different policies and legal frameworks but also by the practices surrounding migration. Yet, the act of migration alone does not cause any disease. Rather, the socioeconomic, political, cultural and environmental conditions connected to the act of migration can impact on health and the vulnerability to disease. National health systems are often put under pressure to respond to large-scale movements and diplomacy comes into play to find cross-border, collective solutions. Health can serve as an entry point for these diplomatic actions and new governance mechanisms need to be negotiated to respond appropriately to migration crises.This brand-new course will seek to explore the emerging role of cities as global actors and drivers of change.

Security-Development-Migration Nexus
Dieses eLearning-Angebot ist das Ergebnis eines standortübergreifenden Ringseminars der Universitäten Freiburg, Tübingen, Mainz, Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, Hamburg, Marburg und Magdeburg im Sommersemester 2018, mit dem Ziel aus der Perspektive der Friedens- und Konfliktforschung Grundlagen, Akteure und Folgen diesen Nexus in neun Modulen zu erarbeiten und kritisch zu reflektieren.
Seminar für Wissenschaftliche Politik, Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg
Im Zuge transnationaler Herausforderungen wie Terrorismus, Entwicklungsdefizite oder regionale Konflikte, sind Entwicklung und Sicherheit zentrale Bestandteile einer Afrikapolitik externer Akteure. Während traditionell eine starke Verbindung zwischen diesen beiden Politikfeldern, ein Nexus, besteht, der insbesondere um die Frage kreist, wie viel oder ob Sicherheit für Entwicklung notwendig ist, wird dieser Nexus seit kurzer Zeit um das Politikfeld Migration ergänzt. Die Asylkrise in der Europäischen Union hat dazu geführt, dass Afrika verstärkt aus einer Migrationsperpsektive in den Blick gerät. In diesem Zusammenhang fokussiert deutsche Außenpolitik vermehrt auf die Sahel Zone und Transitstaaten von Afrikanischer Migration, aber auch die Außenpolitik der EU oder Frankreichs weisen einen solchen Fokus auf. Diese neue Zielrichtungen generieren einen "security-development-migration nexus", indem die verschiedenen Politikfelder miteinander verwoben werden.Dieses eLearning-Angebot ist das Ergebnis eines standortübergreifenden Ringseminars der Universitäten Freiburg, Tübingen, Mainz, Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, Hamburg, Marburg und Magdeburg im Sommersemester 2018, mit dem Ziel aus der Perspektive der Friedens- und Konfliktforschung Grundlagen, Akteure und Folgen diesen Nexus in neun Modulen zu erarbeiten und kritisch zu reflektieren.
