Immigration, Refugees and Asylum Policies
fRDB and IGIER-Bocconi joint conference
22 April 2016
10:00-18:30
Università Bocconi, Milan
Auditorium, Via Gobbi 5
What are the causes that have generated the actual migrants’ and refugees’ crisis? What consequences will this imply, especially in a long-term and global perspective?
Fondazione RODOLFO DEBENEDETTI, jointly with IGIER-Bocconi, will try to answer such questions in a conference that will bring together some of the most important scholars in immigration studies. The one-day event will also include a round table between prominent members of the international organizations most involved in the asylum policy making.
