| dc.description.abstract | This chapter aims to discuss the UK’s migration policy in the aftermath of the COVID-19 outbreak. It questions how borders are instrumentalized and secured through government policy, based on a theoretical framework of the international migration-pandemic-security nexus. The “borders” of the UK, in this study, serve to connect three interrelated and simultaneous post-Brexit policies during the pandemic: first, the restrictions and measures introduced by lockdowns and border closures to slow the spread of the coronavirus; second, the new point-based migration framework to take control of who and why passes through the borders; and third, the new asylum plan to not allow asylum seekers through the borders. All these policies are discussed in light of the Global Britain approach. This chapter, therefore, questions the UK’s migration policy’s (in)consistency with the Global Britain vision, announced as a roadmap to become a global power with an increased capacity to respond to the transnational challenges, of the post-COVID-19 period. Considering that neither the transnational migration nor the global health crisis is the only challenge in the post-COVID international order, the main claim of this chapter is that the UK’s migration policy requires reconsideration based on a more comprehensive approach in the long run rather than focusing on the cost-benefits in the short run. © 2024 selection and editorial matter, Erman Akilli, Burak Güneş and Ahmet Gökbel. | |
