This issue of CMR Spotlight summarises the final results of the Polish-Lithuanian project “Mobility, Migration and the COVID-19 Epidemic: Governing Emergencies in Lithuania and Poland”, jointly conducted by the Centre of Migration Research at the University of Warsaw and the Institute of International Relations and Political Science at Vilnius University. Although the realities of the COVID-19 epidemic may now seem distant, our analysis has identified three key legacies related to mobility and migration. First, it revealed the dominance of an economic rationale over that of solidarity and public health protection. Second, it showed a return to national-level solutions and the assertion of sovereignty alongside the tendency of the governments to exploit the state's ignorance in cases where the governance actions are too costly or complex. Third, the pandemic has fostered a governmental tendency to normalise the use of “state of exception” logic and emergency techniques as a routine mode of governance.
