Cetta Mainwaring is a DPhil candidate in the Department of Politics and International Relations. Her research considers the roles that Malta and Cyprus are playing in terms of migration control on the EU’s southern border. Within the context of the EU’s emphasis on externalising immigration and asylum policies, her research examines the relationship between the EU and small peripheral member states in order to understand how these relationships shape and are shaped by irregular immigration flows.
