Historically, borders tend to be the location of international trouble spots. Prior to the global lockdown, there was a utopian vision of open borders, complicated by a populist push towards border fortification. This dichotomy has now been eclipsed by a pandemic that doesn’t respect borders. Politicisation of the pandemic, displacement of people, and restricted travel, as along with the drive towards an ever-increasing economic globalisation, have created further complex contradictions.
