A closer look at “UK-France Migration Deal: Post-Brexit Diplomacy or Deterrence?”, exactly as the source publishes it. In this interview, Erin Ogunkeye welcomes Parvati Nair, Professor of Hispanic, Cultural and Migration Studies at Queen Mary University of London, to discuss the UK-France migration agreement. Professor Nair views the deal as a small but revealing element of the broader post-Brexit relationship between the two countries, where migration issues are intertwined with diplomacy, security, intelligence, and surveillance. Nair warns that the scheme risks trivializing a complex human plight, reducing it to a matter of deterrence and a numbers game.
She argues that humans have always migrated and that the agreement may not address the root causes of migration. The discussion also touches on the ethical implications of the deal and its potential impact on vulnerable populations.
