  2. Course objectives • Firstly, brief general background to the evolution of the immigration issues particularly since World War II as well as the impact it has had on the politics and policy making of major host countries and international organizations. • Secondly, the course discusses the treatment of immigration and related issues in the EU with a particular emphasis to the community policy making level. • Thirdly, the course will take up the question of “why” the development of common immigration policies accompanied with the question of “how” these policies are developed and implemented. • Fourthly, the course examines a selected range of issues and discusses actual EU acquis on these issues in some detail. Attention will be given to the politics and policy making on asylum, controlling borders and immigration as well as the issue of the rights of Third Country Nationals and the incorporation of immigrants. Guests will be invited to cover some of these issues. • Lastly, the experience of Turkey with this acquis will also be discussed.
