As the worlds most deeply integrated regional entity, the European Union plays a pivotal role in the future trajectory of globalization through revisions to its migration policy. Yet existing research on globalization, European integration, and migration mainly adopt a macro-level analytical lens, with few investigating the evolution of immigration policies. The study conducts a comparative analysis of the European Unions migrationpolicy framework before and after the enactment of the 2024 Pact on Migration and Asylum. Utilizing migrationflow data and policy documents published by the EU from 2015 to 2023, it investigates the interplay between the Pact and subsequent policy trajectories. The findings reveal that the Pact represents a critical transition in the EUs governance of globalizationfrom a reactive posture to a strategic, managementoriented stance. Although this shift initially curtailed crossborder mobility, over the long term it has underpinned the progression of globalization toward greater institutional maturity. These insights bear significant theoretical and practical implications for the study of contemporary global integration.
