Description
Summary:[...]of the COVID-19 pandemic, international mobility all but ground to a halt by the second quarter of 2020.1 Airline traffic dropped more than 70 percent, and thousands of grounded airplanes filled up the runways. [...]we have invited our contributors not only to reflect on the implications of current developments, but also to imagine alternatives and to consider the possibility that COVID-19 might represent a kind of “Stunde Null,” an at least temporary reset, for the terms of global mobility and migration law. [...]even the temporary measures introduced by different governments this past half-year appear to challenge several core principles of global mobility and migration law. [...]both regional free movements and bilateral mobility arrangements have come under pressure or been abandoned.
