Kryzys migracyjny i globalny system zarządzania migracją w sytuacji pandemii COVID-19
The Migration Crisis and the Global Migration Management System in the Event of the COVID-19 Pandemic

Summary/Abstract: RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: The aim of the paper is to present the conditions and effects of the global migration crisis, which appeared in connection with the health crisis caused by the COVID19 pandemic. It also undertakes a preliminary analysis of the possibilities of mitigating its effects within the global migration management system. THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND METHODS: The research problem focuses on the impact of the health crisis on migration processes, especially in the context of tightening national immigration regimes and securitization. It also takes into account the potential of a migration management system to restore the global benefits of safe migrant mobility. The article is based on the political science analysis of the content of the reports and a review of the latest scientific literature. THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: The starting point of the argumentation is to emphasize the importance of the greatest decline in human mobility in modern times for the outbreak of a migration crisis. It was pointed out that the long-term closure of borders may lead to the risk of failure of the entire migration system. The provisions of the 2018 Global Compact for Migration agreement were indicated as a corrective instrument. RESEARCH RESULTS: The analysis leads to the conclusion that more than perhaps any crisis in the past COVID-19 clearly demonstrates the need to include migrants in crisis management and to find long-term solutions to a new type of migration problem when the acute phase of the crisis is over. CONCLUSIONS, INNOVATIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS: Due to the fact of important role of migrants in the economic, social and cultural fabric of the globalized world, it seems necessary to deepen initial reflections on the migration management system in the context of a health crisis.
