Prompt:
Part I:
Using your readings on political economy, summarize in 500 words what you understand about the political economy of migration. Use the examples provided in the readings to support your explanations.
Part II:
Next, think about the ‘Right to the City’ approach. Do you think this approach conflicts with the political economy approach to migration? In other words, should immigrants only be welcome if they add some value to a city? Why or why not? Explain your position in 500 words. Support your arguments with examples from either assigned or other readings that you find online.
