Editörden: KOVİD-19’un Uluslararası Hareketlilik ve Göçmenliğe İlişkin Etkisi Üzerine

The first COVID-19 case was reported in Wuhan, China in December 2019, and the subsequent cases had been identified in some other countries around the world by January 2020. Among many others, one of the most prominent and immediate impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic was the anxiety of a “global crisis”. Despite its’ global and cross-border nature, COVID-19 triggered a period of national precautions regarding the borders. Consequently, beyond human health, a concrete side effect of the pandemic is observed on human mobility. The debates about the perturbative outcomes of the COVID-19 on cross-border human mobility and migration have been still going on within the period that we have been preparing this volume of our journal. A general overview of the daily politics and practices about the breakout, progression and post-pandemic periods of the COVID-19 reveal that the linkage between migration, borders, and COVID-19 is a fact, which is highly related to the nature of the pandemic and national precautions, rather than a coincidence or a result of academic curiosity
