Abstract

This study critically reviews the European Union’s (EU) irregular migration policy based on the Turkey and Libya deals’ performance during the Covid-19 pandemic. The study has two main findings about how the pandemic has affected the deals’ performance especially as to international cooperation and irregular migration management capacities: 1) The deals have failed in terms of sustainability and resilience. 2) The deals - aiming to reduce the irregular migration flows, improve access to protection, strengthen the international cooperation on irregular migration – have undermined the humanitarian and international cooperation. In conclusion, the study argues that strengthening the migration management capacities in transit and source countries as well as improving the humanitarian and international cooperation will be beneficial to overhauling of the EU’s irregular migration diplomacy.

Özet

Bu çalışma Türkiye ve Libya mutabakatlarının Covid-19 pandemisi sürecinde gösterdiği performans temelinde Avrupa Birliği (AB) düzensiz göç politikasının eleştirel bir analizini yapmaktadır. Çalışma pandeminin söz konusu mutabakatların özellikle uluslararası işbirliği ve düzensiz göç yönetimi kapasitelerine ilişkin sonuçlarına dair iki temel bulguya ulaşmıştır: 1) Mutabakatlar sürdürülebilirlik ve dayanıklılık açısından yetersiz kalmıştır. 2) Hedefleri düzensiz göç akımlarının azaltılması, koruma imkânlarına erişimin geliştirilmesi, düzensiz göçe yönelik uluslararası işbirliğinin pekiştirilmesi olan mutabakatlar insani ve uluslararası işbirliğini aşındırmıştır. Sonuçta, çalışma AB’nin düzensiz göç diplomasisinin revize edilmesinde insani ve uluslararası işbirliğinin geliştirilmesinin yanı sıra transit ve kaynak ülkelerdeki göç yönetimi kapasitelerinin güçlendirilmesinin faydalı olacağını savunmaktadır.
