England's immigrant and refugee policies after Brexit

Migration is a concept that intersects with numerous disciplines within the social sciences. As old as humanity itself, the concept of migration has persisted despite thousands of years, advancing technology, and civilization. For this reason, it has become a fascinating topic for academic studies. Asylum, on the other hand, is a relatively newer concept in terms of its definition compared to migration. Both concepts have gradually become significant items on the international agenda. The primary focus of this study has been to evaluate the causes and consequences of the Brexit process in the context of migration and asylum flows in the UK, while analyzing the new migration policies introduced post-Brexit in comparison to the previous ones. In this regard, the status of migrant and asylum seeker rights within the framework of international human rights law and European Union law has been examined. Specifically concerning the UK, the study provides insights into the country's domestic politics and UK–EU relations relevant to the topic. These insights are analyzed through theories drawn from various disciplines within the social sciences, such as critical realism, world-systems theory, spatial adjustment, and transnational migration theory. This study examines the migration and asylum policies developed in the UK after Brexit from economic, cultural, and political perspectives. The focus of the study is specifically on England, excluding the policies implemented by other countries within the United Kingdom. The study explores the influence of England's historical migration and asylum policies on those implemented after Brexit, the relationship between the EU's common migration policies and Brexit, the impact of the September 11 and July 7 attacks on England's migration and asylum policies, and the economic, legal, and social analyses of migration and asylum policies implemented in the post-Brexit period.
