    The UK’s “stop the boats” policy shows a failure to learn from Australia’s mistakes
    Tubakovic, T ; Murray, P ; Matera, M (London School of Economics and Political Sciences, 2023)
    The UK government has unveiled its latest policy to tackle “small boat” crossings – one of five key priorities of the Sunak government. Yet the solutions proposed are nothing new, as they seek to emulate what has long been Australian policy towards asylum seekers. Far from being a simple and effective transferable solution, Tamara Tubakovic, Philomena Murray and Margherita Matera explain why such a policy solution is ill-suited to the UK context and therefore unlikely to succeed.
