This panel examines the emotional foundations of contemporary migration politics across public opinion, digital discourse, and policy communication. Bringing together qualitative, comparative, and multimodal research, the papers explore how feelings of insecurity, threat, and belonging shape the ways citizens understand protection; how populist actors mobilise emotions in digital spaces to construct cultural and religious “others”; and how political elites strategically deploy emotional rhetoric when communicating anti-immigration policies. By analysing public perceptions in six countries, social media discourses in Italy, and policy communication in France, the United Kingdom, and Germany, the panel offers an integrated perspective on how emotional appeals circulate across societal, digital, and institutional domains. Collectively, the contributions illuminate the central role of affect in structuring migration debates, shaping policy resonance, and influencing the broader politics of identity and protection in an age of heightened anxiety.
