Academic study published on the United Kingdom’s externalisation of migration

Development summary

Kate Motluk’s article in Political Geography examines how the United Kingdom externalises migration control through places outside Great Britain. Using four sites — Rwanda, Diego Garcia (British Indian Ocean Territory), the Bibby Stockholm barge and Calais — it traces how the border is displaced and how these practices are tied to enduring colonial logics, with Great Britain becoming increasingly inaccessible to vulnerable migrants.
