Tabea Scharrer, Chinwe Beneditte Ogbonna, and Gerhild Per focus on the containment policies reinforced during the COVID-19 pandemic, and argue that they might be seen as indicators of a broader global trend of deglobalization, where restrictions on mobility as well as political and economic fragmentation lead to a disjuncture of social ties. Under this lens, the Covid-19 pandemic could in retrospect be seen as a temporal ‘laboratory’ for experimenting with policies of bordering and disconnection not thought possible by many shortly before.

The Covid-19 pandemic triggered diverse quarantine measures worldwide to curb the spread of the virus.

As many migrants face precarity, economic strife and exclusion, middle class migrants embedded in host communities can increasingly support restrictive and exclusive migration regimes. Inka Stock focuses on Germany, and explains how some migrants become attracted to the right-wing AfD policies. Ultimately, the effects of COVID-19 to exclude and divide may benefit the rise of radical right-populism.
