JiMin is interested in conducting research that intersects feminism, peace and security, social inequality, social movement, and migration. She holds a Master's degree in Social Anthropology from the University of Oslo, Norway, and a bachelor's degree in Asian Studies from Underwood International College of Yonsei University in Seoul, South Korea. She is part of the working group in FEPS YAN that discusses the normalized reproductions of unequal power relations within the migrations of EU member states.
EU enlargement is once again becoming a priority for European decision makers and is seen as an effective foreign policy tool in challenging geopolitical times. However, it is imperative to recognise EU accession as a multifaceted process that can also exacerbate socio-economic disparities within and beyond the EU. This policy study analyses this phenomenon in light of two specific issues: the application of visa liberalisation policies under EU accession negotiations; and the negative effects of high levels of migration from the semi-periphery to the core of the EU induced by access to free movement.
