Societal and Political Discourses on Migration

Abstract

During the past years the increased inflows of immigrants and refugees had an effect on how migration is perceived by the host countries’ actors around the world. Political and non-political actors have positioned themselves between the pro-immigrant and anti-immigrant narratives. This panel explores the different perceptions towards the framing of migration in general from a comparative perspective. By closely analysing the claims of different actors towards migration, the aim of this panel is to connect the diverse strands of scholarly work concerning the various perspectives of the politicisation of immigration and immigration policy-making not only in Europe but also in Latin America.
