Sustainability and Resilience in Migration Governance for a Post-pandemic World
Anna Triandafyllidou, Brenda S. A. Yeoh
Abstract
This paper discusses the contradictions and tensions in the governance of international migration that the pandemic has exposed. It starts by defining the pandemic emergency as a wicked problem. Even though wicked problems usually do not have solutions, we argue that building resilience and sustainability as key features in migration governance can help address this wicked challenge. We look at three types of resilience: situated, structural and systemic and discuss the extent to which they may form the basis of sustainable migration governance.
