STUDY GLOBAL AND REGIONAL ORDER SPOTLIGHT – MIGRATION AND COVID-19 Hakima Haithar and Felix Braunsdorf(eds) July 202 1 The Covid-19 Pandemic has had an unprecedented impact on migration, human mobility, and the lives of migrants around the globe. Governments respond to it through a mixture of measures, including social distancing, movement restrictions, public health measures, social and economic measures, and lock­downs. Some response meas­ures have both worsened pre-­existing vulnerabilities and in­­equalities and shifted govern­ment interactions further to­wards surveillance activities and the securitisation of migration. This report has selected nine ar­eas of concern where the pan­demic has changed the lives of migrants. As the pandemic continued in 2021, there is a growing urgency to ensure that the inequalities and vulnerabili­ties are addressed through migrant specific responses to bring about positive change.
